Good morning Bay Islands. This beautiful photo was shot at dusk in West Bay by Jerome Guillot. Remember the winner for January gets bed and breakfast for two for one night at Paya Bay Resort.
We have quite a few clouds around but only a little rain. Politilly picked up .01 this morning and Sandy Bay around .04.
At 9:30 a.m. things are a little cloudier over the west side than the east side, and these clouds are moving from east to west. We will keep partly cloudy skies today and can’t rule out an afternoon shower, but we should be dry most of the time. A chance for morning showers comes back tomorrow. After that things look dry into the weekend.
Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We start the day with east winds 10-15 mph but seas only around 2 feet. Tonight winds should turn a bit to the northeast and seas should be around 3 feet. Tomorrow winds will be light and variable, but seas will remain around 3 feet.
On Friday winds turn to the west at 5-10 mph and seas to 3 feet.
Saturday might be the windiest day of the week with east winds 15 mph and seas 3 feet during the day at 20-25 mph and 4 feet overnight. Sunday and Monday look calmer again.
People are all the time asking me what the best time of year to visit Roatan is. One of the answers is January into February. You get to experience Caribbean warmth and a break from North American chill, but it is after rainy season, so you have a good chance at dry conditions and relatively calm waters. Jolly Roger Roatan (jollyroge is celebrating 20 years of fun, safe excursions. Look for them in the cruise ship offerings.
Low tides are 4 p.m. and 4 a.m. as the full moon starts to wane.
