Good morning Bay Islands. Some of you have the day off because today is the International Day of the Worker in Honduras and around 160 other countries. Our photo of the day comes from Josée Massicotte in West Bay and shows a unique perspective on a sunset. She will be the first to be entered into the May contest for a $50 gift certificate to Hangover Hut.

If you want to be jealous, take a look at the nice rains in the eastern Caribbean, in Jamaica, eastern Cuba, Hispanola and Puerto Rico. Unfortunately none of that is coming our way. It will move north, then northeast into the Atlantic. We will continue to have hot, hazy skies. Our high yesterday at the airport was 88 (31C) but our inland weather station in West Bay Hills got up to 91.5 (33C). We will have more of that for the week ahead with very little to no chance of rain.

Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: Today is the day we start seeing winds get a bit calmer, though not completely calm. We start the day with east winds around 20 mph and seas 3 feet on the southside. That should calm to around 15 mph and seas 2-3 feet by midday. We’ll notice a big difference at night, when winds stay around 15 mph. Those conditions should last through the weekend.

Low tides are 9:40 a.m. and 10 p.m. Have a great Wednesday!
