Good morning Bay Islands! This morning’s photo is from Mel James at Guanaja’s West End. Gorgeous blue skies though we’ve been a little hazy recently. Give Mel’s photo a “like” to get it into the contest April 30 for a $50 gift certificate to Blue Bahia Beach Grill. I got a 40 mph wind gust on Jonesville Point last night. One more day of east winds before we get our very weak cold front.
Today we will have 20 mph east winds, getting back up to 30 mph this evening, with seas 4-5 feet on the south side. Tomorrow morning into midday we will have a period of westerly winds, especially for Utila and the west side of Roatan. East side and Guanaja, will have light east winds until closer to midday, when we pick up some west winds as well. Those west winds will be around 15 mph with seas around 3 feet north and west sides. Thursday evening through Sunday morning we will have a chance of rain. It’s not a big chance, maybe 40 percent for the whole period. Just hope you get a quick downpour. Highest chance will be Friday night into Saturday morning.
We keep saying maybe the next cold front will be the last. They get weaker and weaker each time. I think this one may be the last one for real. The extended forecast on the GFS doesn’t show any more cold front getting anywhere close to the Caribbean. After this, our only hope for any sort of shower comes from waves of moisture coming from our east. This is probably also the last time we have to worry about westerly winds for awhile. Easterly trades should dominate the rest of April into May.
Our photo of the day is a great reminder that Guanaja is a great place to visit. I will be over there the first part of May. I’m hoping to get some diving in. If you have a dive shop on Guanaja and have an extra seat on a boat at a reasonable price let me know.
Lowest tide is 4:20 p.m. Have a great Wednesday!
