Our photo of the day comes from Anja Weyers in Sandy Bay and shows just some of our beautiful island flora, called frangipani or plumeria. I have gotten some feedback to see more flora and fauna in photos of the day and fewer sunrises and sunsets. What do you think? Let me know your thoughts.
Today is the easy day to forecast. We start with 25 mph east winds and seas 4 feet on the south side. That should ease a bit to 15 mph midday but get back to 20-25 mph east winds by evening. We will have clear skies and no rain today.
Tuesday through Thursday the wind situation will be hard to predict, because we have winds from different directions moving in and out. Tuesday looks like the calmest day with winds around 10 mph, but from various directions depending where you are on our islands.
Wednesday looks like a day of 15 mph west winds.
Thursday winds are calmer around 7-12 mph but also start to turn to the north.
Models are still looking good for us to get rain from Thursday evening through the day on Friday. They disagree somewhat on whether we get more rain late Thursday or early Friday, but that is the time period to look for rain. Also, Friday looks to be a day of brisk north winds and waves on the north side, though the EURO wants to put the biggest waves into Friday evening, whereas the GFS says the morning will be windy.
With a complex wind pattern, you need to choose Jolly Roger Roatan for your excursion. They know how to get you to a calm cove to make the most of you time on the island!
Low tides are 2:30 p.m. and 3 a.m. under a full moon. Have a great week!
