Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,

holiday celebrates the bonds, playful rivalries,
and lifelong memories shared between brothers
and sisters, encouraging stories, photos, and
gratitude. So now you know. It's time for the
surf report. Friday in Encinitas. This morning
it's looking clean with waves around 2 to 4 feet.
Conditions stay consistent through the morning,
but expect a slight increase to 3 to 4 plus feet
by late morning. Winds are currently sideshore
at 1 mile per hour, shifting onshore later, reaching
10 miles per hour by mid -afternoon. Best time
to ride is at 7 a .m. with a 2 -foot outgoing
mid -tide when the southwest swell is 1 .5 feet
at 18 seconds and the offshore wind is 1 mile
per hour. The first low tide on Friday will be
a half -foot at 11 .45 a .m., followed by a 3
-foot high tide just before 7 .30. The nearshore
buoy at Beacons reads 67 degrees for the water
temperature. Conditions start strong on Saturday
with clean 3 to 4 foot waves and light winds.
However, expect choppy conditions to develop
in the afternoon as winds shift onshore. By Sunday,
the swell holds at 2 to 4 feet but remains choppy
throughout the day. Monday drops slightly to
2 to 3 plus feet with persistent choppy conditions.

to tell them. Sunny mornings send you. In local
news, Artemis Week kicks off at the Fleet Science
Center in Balboa Park, celebrating humanity's
return to deep space exploration. Visitors can
explore the temporary Artemis II exhibits and
follow the mission as it unfolds in real time.
On Thursday morning, busloads of children swarmed
around real moon rocks, personal items from the
Artemis II crew, models, and interactive simulators.
Adeline Morgan Roche, a visiting NASA guide,
expressed her joy at seeing Artemis II excite
people about space exploration. She noted, if
you just go online, the amount of people posting
about this is inspiring. Now on to sports. Rory's
defense has disappointed in the first rounds,
while looking ahead to the rest of the Masters.
How will a loaded leaderboard take shape? Will
the course continue to get more difficult? We
look at round one and what could come next at
Augusta National. We're just 18 holes into the
90th playing of the Masters, and the tournament
is already delivering at a high level. The leaderboard
is stacked with some of the best golfers in the
world. Five of the top 10 finishers in last year's
event find themselves inside the top 10 again.
Four of the top five in the world are part of
the group of only 18 players under par. In local
sports, last night the Padres topped the Rockies
7 -3 in 12 innings. Bogarts walked it off with
a granny in the bottom of the 12th. The Friars
are now 7 -6 and sit third in the NL West. Tonight
is Game 2 of this four -game series with Sugano
facing Buehler. First pitch is at 640. In top
news, Tim Cook does not want to talk about retirement
yet, but John Ternes is emerging as his most
likely successor. During an all -hands meeting
at Apple in January, an employee asked about
a spate of executive moves. Apple's chief operating
officer recently retired. while the chief financial
officer and general counsel took smaller roles
to prepare for their own retirements. This transition
reflects a logical change at a company that turns
50 on April 1st. Apple stock has made executives
wealthy, prompting many to prioritize family
time over work. In business news... OpenAI and
Anthropic are racing toward potentially record
-breaking initial public offerings by the end
of the year. An inside look at the financials
of both companies prior to funding rounds completed
earlier this year reveals their Achilles heel.
The soaring costs needed to train new artificial
intelligence models. OpenAI expects to spend
$121 billion on computing power for artificial
intelligence research in 2028. Such losses would
dwarf those of virtually any other public company
in history. Both companies are releasing new
versions of their artificial intelligence models
at an unprecedented pace amid rising computing
costs. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up 4 %
for the week to just over $72 ,000. Ethereum
is up 3 % to just over $2 ,000. And XRP is unchanged
at $1 .34. Moving on to a more local vibe. In
our community spotlight on health and wellness,
we are working with a national Pilates studio.

sunny morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk science. Entire human populations
vanished 3 ,000 years ago. Scientists figured
out where they went. The population drop opened
the door for outsiders to repopulate with new
demographics and cultures. The famed Neolithic
decline that struck around 3 ,100 years before
the Common Era in northern Europe has a new scientific
explanation. The influx of newcomers came from
the south as Iberians began repopulating the
Paris Basin around 2 ,900 years before the Common
Era. Researchers believe they have found out
why the Paris Basin suffered a dramatic population
shift. And in entertainment news, Jeopardy! champion
Janie Ding from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, has
achieved a remarkable milestone by winning his
20th straight game, tying the record set by host
Ken Jennings. Ding entered Thursday's episode
with winnings totaling a staggering $539 ,573.
By the end of the Jeopardy round, he led with
$8 ,800 against his opponents, Alexander Leith
and Prithish David, who had $800 and $3 ,400,
respectively. Ultimately, Ding finished with
$32 ,000, marking him as the first contestant
to win 20 or more games since 2022. Well, alrighty
folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And
today, our quote comes from the American author
and motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar. And he
said, you don't have to be great to start, but
you have to start to be great. And that's a wrap
for this morning. You can check out our Instagram,
YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial

Have an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see
you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings
