Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Brandon Matz in Sandy Bay and shows a kid (what the locals would call a cipote) doing a wheelie on the beach at sunset. The beach is right in front of Blue Bahia Beach Grill and maybe Brandon will get a $50 meal there if he wins this month’s photo contest. Very small chances of rain will lead into a very dry week ahead.

In our satellite this morning you can see a few popcorn clouds (cumulus) to our north and even more to our south. Unfortunately for us, we are in the dry middle and these clouds are moving toward the southwest. I imagine the Cayos Cochinos are getting some nice showers this morning. There is a small chance for us on the Bay Islands this morning, but this afternoon should be mostly sunny. Another small chance will happen tomorrow morning, and maybe a 10 percent chance overnight Monday night into Tuesday morning, but after that we are dry as a bone.

Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We start the day winds fairly light at 10 mph from the north/northeast, but waves are 3-4 feet on the north side. This afternoon winds will pick up to 20 mph from the northeast, keeping our seas around 4 feet north side. Tomorrow we will have another day of light morning winds and winds in the afternoon 15-20 mph from the northeast, with seas 2-3 feet north side. Tuesday through the rest of the week we will have easterly trade winds, but only around 20 mph, so seas should stay around 3-4 feet, mostly on the south side. We won’t have those 30 mph overnight winds we’ve had previous weeks.

Today is $18 Lobster Special day at Ikigai by Robby Molina in French Harbor. This is a good deal by itself, but the fact that it includes a complimentary adult beverage makes it a great deal.

 Low tides are 9:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. Have a great Sunday!
