Good morning Bay Islands. This morning’s photo comes from Kristi Voves and shows sisters Gemma and Lake walking through baby mangroves on the beach at Blue Bahia Resort. I’ll be visiting Sandy Bay Divers, the sponsors of this month’s photo contest for a dive. Seas will be a little choppier than they have in recent days, but not too bad north side.
We start with the satellite and, unlike previous days, there isn’t any nearby rain to get jealous of. Today and tomorrow look mostly sunny and hot. The high at the airport yesterday was 93 (34C). Our sea temperature monitor is getting dangerously close to the bleaching threshold of 86 (30C). We really need some cooling rains. The computers are still wanting to give us better chances late this week into this weekend as the Central American low sits nearby. Let’s hope so.
Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: Here on the east side, we are a little windier than we have been recent mornings, with southeast winds 15 mph and seas 3 feet on the south side. As you go west along the island of Roatan winds get a bit calmer and they turn to the west on Utila. As the day goes on, winds should get a bit calmer and seas will calm to 2 feet southside, except for Guanaja, who will continue to have 15 mph east winds. Tomorrow through Friday look calmer again before we get stronger east winds this weekend.
If this just happens to be the weekend you want to buy Dad a steak, you can do no better than one of the moist and tasty cuts of beef at Carniceria Rosita.
High and low tides will be pretty mild today.
