Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Phil Sikora in Caribe Bight and reminds us that the moon becomes full tonight. Those of you who know me know this is a very special night for me. I also know it kicks off a very special week for many of you. So let’s get to the forecast.
On our satellite at 6:50 a.m. we see a storm that has had some thunder in it just to the southwest of Utila. I imagine some folks, especially on the west side of the island, might have seen a little rain out of this, though most of the rain seems to be falling just to the west of La Ceiba. We have a few clouds toward Guanaja, but overall this morning looks dry for most of us unfortunately. Winds start out from the northeast 5-10 mph and seas 1-2 feet but should increase to 10-15 mph by midday and by afternoon turn to the east, giving us 2-3 foot waves coming from the northeast. Tonight we will have east winds around 20 mph.
The wind forecast for Semana Santa is already looking a bit complicated.
Monday: Moderate east winds 15 mph day, 25 mph night, seas 2-3 feet southside.
Tuesday: Probably the calmest day of the week with east/northeast winds 5-10 mph and seas 2 feet.
Wednesday: West/southwest winds 10-15 mph and seas 2-3 feet esp. north and west sides.
Thursday: Starts off quite calm in the morning but gets windy from the west in the afternoon.
Friday: Windiest day of the week with north winds around 20 mph and seas around 5 feet north side.
Thursday evening into Friday morning looks like the best chance at rain right now, though it seems many of these late season storm disappoint us when it comes to rain, so I’m not guaranteeing that we’ll get a lot.
Until Thursday we will stay hot and dry, but when the north wind gets here we should cool off for Friday and Saturday.
Semana Santa will be a big week at Ikigai by Robby Molina. Aside from Monday when they are closed, every day has something amazing to choose from, starting with Lobster Special today. I had it last Sunday and it was outstanding!
Low tides are 2:10 p.m and 2:30 a.m. As you can see, we enter full moon phase tonight, which means that at Kingdom Halls around the world, we will be observing the Memorial of Jesus’ Death. If anyone out there wants more information about attending any of the nine observances across our islands, please message me or text me at 9475-4406. Otherwise I will be offline until tomorrow morning. Have a great Sunday!
