Good morning Bay Islands. Our super-cute photo of the day comes from Dee Martinez and features her grandson Ian running along the beach in West End. We may be tired of the dry conditions, but whenever people ask when to visit Roatan, May is one of the prime months I suggest. Brides are all the time trying to have beach weddings in December when there is a good chance they will be rained out. If anyone wants to have a beach wedding in early May I can almost guarantee you dry conditions.
On the satellite all of the popcorn clouds are well to our west. There are some high level cirrus clouds making the sky over Utila somewhat hazy. We will continue to have sunny, dry conditions. The airport got up to 90 degrees (32C).
Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We will continue to have east winds 15 mph during the day and 20 mph in the evening with 2-3 foot waves especially on the south side. The main change is that Wednesday and Thursday evening winds look a little stronger, to around 25 mph and seas to 4 feet. But not bad for this time of year on the seas mostly.
Today is a double treat at Ikigai by Robby Molina. We have the lobster special all day and Cinco de Mayo Mexican specialties at 6 p.m. See you there!
A couple of days ago the GFS was trying to push some moisture down into the Caribbean. This morning’s forecast pulls that away from us. They are forecasting the cold front to stall around the middle of Florida, as is common in mid-May. So for now things look dry as ever into mid-May. We’re just hoping for the return of some high level Caribbean moisture to bring back the morning showers. But that ain’t happening anytime soon.
Low tides are looking pretty low around 12:30 p.m. Have a great Sunday!
