1. Watch: San Diego Bluff Collapses at Exact Spot Where 3 People Were Killed (surfer.com) — Access to Grandview Beach in Encinitas is closed around the main staircase after a new bluff collapse at nearly the same spot where three people died in 2019, and officials warn more sections could fail. Geologists say the slide was essentially unpredictable, but powerful surf, erosion, and a strengthening El Niño may increase future bluff failures along this stretch of coast.

North County Notebook: Strike Force reloads without Davis; Evans wins title (thecoastnews.com) — Encinitas baseball fans can cheer native Phil Evans, who just helped Toros de Tijuana win the 2026 Mexican League championship after a strong .314 season.
