Good morning Bay Islands. Our Photo of the Day comes from Claire Staffa and a spectacular Luna Beach sunset. A couple of things surprised me yesterday. The Storm Behind Beryl completely fell apart and we didn’t get evening rains and the easterly trade winds returned yesterday afternoon. Those winds will last through the week and we do have some storms nearing Guanaja at 7 a.m.
On satellite we can see a complex of storms nearing Guanaja at 7 a.m. The Garcias on the south side of the big island of Guanaja have gotten .07 of an inch. These storms will give us some rain chances this morning, after which we should have partly cloudy skies. The rest of the week we will have about a 30 percent chance of rain each day, mostly in the mornings.
Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We awake to 20 mph winds and 4 foot seas on the south side of the east Roatan. Utila is calm this morning, but even Utila will get trade winds later today. Most of this week we will have east winds 15-25 mph and seas 3-4 feet south side.
Our Photo of the Month of July will win a roundtrip on Galaxy Wave to Guanaja. If you want to visit Guanaja for a weekend, now is the time to start planning. I think it is sad so many Roatanians have never been to our easternmost island. You owe it to yourself to visit an island that still retains a little more of the pre-tourist flavor of the Bay Islands.
Low tide is 4:30 p.m. Keep the folks in Houston dealing with Beryl in your thoughts and prayers. Have a great week!
