Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day is a great sunrise from Colette Grbac in Lighthouse Estates in West Bay Point. If you like Colette’s photo, she’ll have a chance at a free dive from Sandy Bay Divers. We’re looking for a sponsor for next month’s contest. If you’d like to sponsor, please send me a message.
Let me ask you a question. In the area between southern Mexico and Nicaragua, how much rain coverage do you think there is? Maybe 70 percent. It is just amazing that we are again stuck in a dry slot. What you are seeing is a large Central American low that is likely to become a tropical system and threaten southern Texas late this week. As it moves away from us, our chances of rain will decrease somewhat.
Here is the National Hurricane Center forecast, with a 70 percent chance of this low developing into a tropical depression over the Gulf of Mexico but, of course, no threat to us.
Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We start the day with 20 mph south/southeast winds and seas 4 feet on the south side. That should calm by midday to 15 mph and seas 3 feet south side. Of course, Utila is the exception, with a light westerly breeze.
Tonight and tomorrow morning should be calmer than this morning, with southeast winds around 10 mph and seas 2-3 feet. Wednesday looks similar, but Thursday and Friday look windier, with east winds those days 20-25 mph.
Don’t forget. Lots of great restaurants take Monday as their day off, but Ikigai by Robby Molina is here for your Monday cravings, with a great selection of Asian and Central American inspired dishes, as well as some great pasta choices. Or just relax with a few drinks as you watch the sun set in French Harbour.
Low tide is just before noon. Have a great week!
