Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Sandy Soboy, taken on a weekend trip she took to Guanaja on a trip on Galaxy Wave. The Galaxy Wave ferry to Guanaja is a great opportunity for residents of Roatan and Utila to visit the farthest island. I’ve met so many island natives who have never been there. You owe it to yourself to take the trip at least once! A very nice week is in store.
On satellite this morning we see a few popcorn clouds, especially between Roatan and Utila. These clouds are moving southwest. There is a small chance for a shower this morning, especially for Utila, but it won’t amount to much if anything. This week looks pretty dry with only a very slight chance of a shower overnight tonight into tomorrow morning. Next decent chance of rain is in about 10 days, but that is just moisture coming in off the Caribbean to our east. We are done with northers until October.
Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: Today we have east winds around 15 mph and seas aruond 3 feet, especially on the southside. Winds will increast to 20 mph this afternoon and evening with seas 3-4 feet southside. Tomorrow winds will be 15-20 mph from the east, turning to the northeast in the afternoon, so the northside will get a bit wavier tomorrow afternoon. The rest of the week looks much the same. The weather is really starting to turn boring, so I’m going to be doing some long-range forecasting and looking at what La Nina means for our weather and hurricane season a few months out.
Here’s the Guanaja schedule on Galaxy Wave so you can visit the Bay Islands’ hidden gem!
Low tides are 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. Have a great Tuesday!
