Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Troy Standish and shows our full moon over orange seaweed at Fiddler’s Bight. Our skies are clear and sunny this morning with an east wind at 15 mph bringing Southside seas of 4 feet.

Most of us have clear skies at 7:30 a.m. The clouds to the southeast of Guanaja are actually moving east away from us. We should remain mostly sunny through the weekend with winds similar to what they are now from the east. Winds calm considerably Monday into the first part of next week with seas calming to 1-2 feet. That should help with the kelp.

Low tide is 3:20 p.m. Today is a great day to meditate on what Jesus did for you on this day 1993 years ago! Have a great Friday!

At 6:45 a.m. we see quite a few clouds. The heaviest shower is to our north with some thunder. Fortunately the worst of it is moving away from us. Rain and clouds should decrease as the day goes on, but we will still have a shower here or there today. Rain chances increase again tonight. There will be another chance of morning showers tomorrow, but the weekend looks drier and sunnier.

Wind and wave forecast: We start the day with southeast winds 10 mph and seas 3 feet. Winds should turn more easterly as the day goes on 10-15 mph and seas remain 3 feet. Tonight winds pick up to 15-20 mph and seas 4 feet. These conditions will last through the weekend, with calmer winds early next week.

Low tide is 2:50 p.m. and tonight is full Passover moon. Have a great Thursday!

Good morning and welcome to April! Our photo of the day comes from Angela Smith in Sandy Bay! We are bright and sunny today with sargassum on the south side. I haven’t found a good sargassum monitoring page. If you know of one please send it to me. We will be sunny and dry today with a better chance of rain tomorrow especially in the morning.

At 7:30 a.m. we have some popcorn clouds to our northeast, but most of us have clear skies overhead. Today will be mostly sunny with east winds around 15 mph and seas 3 feet. We will keep those winds and seas the rest of the week, but we will have a better chance of showers tonight into tomorrow morning and we can’t even rule out an afternoon shower tomorrow. After that we should get drier again. We are fortunate to have had these late season rains, because April is typically the month for fires and smoke from the mainland, so let’s hope we keep showers around.

Many thanks to the Jolly Roger Roatan for sponsoring our photo contest. We will be putting up the March vote soon, but we will also be taking a break from the contest. Please continue sending us your photos and we will feature them daily, but we won’t have a monthly contest for awhile. Jolly Roger Roatan will continue offering the best excursions with guaranteed fun!

Low tide will be 2:20 p.m. and we will be getting to full moon tomorrow, the most important day of the year! Have a great Wednesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day shows rain clouds closing in on Utila from Brad Ryon. It is appropriate, because we have one more day of scattered showers throughout the day. Starting tomorrow we should go back to just overnight and early morning showers.

At 8 a.m. we see quite a bit of clouds to the east and Guanaja has picked up a third of an inch and Camp Bay picked up half an inch just before daybreak. As these clouds move to the west, we should see partly cloudy skies and chances of rain showers here and there, though it should be a washout. After today, rain chances will drop to mostly just early mornings.

Winds will be light today from the east 5-10 mph and seas 2 feet. Starting tomorrow we get more typical trade winds, 10-15 mph and seas 2-3 feet Southside daytimes and 15-20 mph and 3-4 feet south side nighttimes.

Low tides are 1:30 p.m. and a.m. Have a great week and be careful out there!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Joe Byrne, a truly beautiful sunset over Henry’s Cove for this Palm Sunday. We’ve started off quite wet, with most locations getting between an inch and 2 inches overnight and this morning. Rain should decrease midday and afternoon, but there will still be chances for a few showers out there.

We see scattered clouds and showers around at 7:50 a.m. We will have peeks of sunshine amidst the clouds. Tonight and tomorrow morning another good chance of showers. The most important week of the year for Christians lies ahead, and rain chances will be lower in the week ahead, but we will still have morning rain chances. Winds will be fairly calm today and tomorrow with what breeze we have coming from the northeast and seas 1-2 feet. Starting Tuesday we return to more normal trade winds 10-15 mph from the east daytimes and 15-20 mph nighttimes.

As the advertisement says, the steaks at Carniceria Rosita are “jugosas” or “juicy” in English. Rosita’s is closed today, but will be open as normal tomorrow so you can get your Semana Santa cuts.

High tides will be unusually high as we move toward Thursday night’s full moon. Have a great Sunday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day is the setting moon on Sandy Bay from Regina Alpaugh.

It’s been kind of hard to see the moon with all these clouds and showers around, especially on the east side, which got close to an inch of rain yesterday and many of us have picked up one to two tenths of an inch this morning. Rain showers will continue into the weekend, but we will get some peeks of sun.

At 7:30 a.m. we are in a bit of a break in the clouds, so most of us are getting some hazy sunshine. We’ve also had some rain cooled temperatures. The airport yesterday recorded a high of only 77 (25C) and this morning had a low of 71 (22C). We will continue to have off-and-on showers the next few days. As we get toward Sunday those showers should be come less frequent. 

This morning we start the day with northeast winds 15 mph and seas 3-4 feet. Those winds and seas will calm today, with daytime winds 5-10 mph and seas 2-3 feet, and closer to 2 feet daytimes. Winds will get up to 15 mph nighttimes.

I’ve never complained about snorkeling in the rain. I mean, I’m going to be wet anyway and the fish don’t know. But if anyone knows how to dodge the raindrops, it is Jolly Roger Roatan.

Low tides are 10:30 a.m. and 11 p.m. Have a great Thursday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Brad Ryon and shows sunset in Utila.

We’ve had a few morning showers around this morning good for a couple tenth of an inch or so most places. Those showers should decrease as the morning goes along and our afternoon should be mostly dry. Tomorrow and Thursday we won’t be able to say that, as rain and clouds will stick around all day.

On satellite at 7 a.m. we can see scattered clouds, especially toward Utila, but no rain has been recorded on Utila as of 7 a.m. We also see a mass of clouds to our east that will be moving our way and give us scattered showers through the day and night tomorrow and Thursday. Rain will occasionally be heavy and last longer than we are used to this time of year. After Thursday rain showers will stick around, but will mostly be in the mornings through the weekend.

Wind and Wave forecast: We wake up to northeast winds 10 mph and seas 2 feet. They will stay right around there today. Tomorrow and Thursday the will be from the north/northeast at 15 mph and seas around 3 feet.

Lowest tide will be 8:45 a.m. Have a great Tuesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. As you can see on satellite, there are scattered showers around, especially to the west. Today will be a day of scattered showers and clouds, north winds around 20 mph and seas around 5-6 feet Northside. Wind will calm to 15 mph tomorrow with lower rain chances. The weekend looks quite calm, but we will continue to have a few showers around, especially overnights and mornings. Have a great Thursday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day could be called “Silhouettes on Utila” and was submitted by Jeff Bodin.
We have a big change in weather upcoming, with more rain, a north wind and temperatures a few degrees cooler.

On satellite at 7:30 a.m. you can see the cold front draped across the Gulf from Yucatan to Florida. Today we will see increasing clouds, with winds around 10 mph shifting from south to west to north by midnight. We will have a decent chance of rain overnight. Rain should lessen during the day tomorrow, but our best chance for some heavy rains comes tomorrow night through the day on Thursday. Current models show 2-3 inches, but when we get these northers, heavy rains can mean higher rain totals. The highest winds should come Thursday evening through the day Friday, with 15 mph winds and seas 4 and perhaps at times 5 feet Northside. Rain and wind lessen Friday into the weekend and this weekend actually looks gorgeous. This front should also knock our temperatures back a few degrees, with lows around 70 (21C) and highs perhaps only around 77 (25C).

Low tides are 1:30 p.m. and 2 a.m. Have a great Tuesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Today we will be windy and dry, with an east wind 20 mph and 3 foot seas during the day and gusting to 30 mph and 4 foot tonight. Winds calm a bit tomorrow to 7-12 mph and seas still 3 feet southside. Tuesday winds will start to turn to the north but only around 10 mph in advance of our norther which will bring scattered showers Tuesday evening through the end of the week, though rain totals don’t look too bad. An inch or two will be welcome after all our dry conditions. Have a great Sunday!
