Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day is from Patti Yelinek in Las Rocas north of West Bay.
We start out the day with 15 mph east winds and 3 foot seas, but those will calm this afternoon into tomorrow, with seas 1-2 feet most of the weekend. As we get into Sunday evening and Monday winds pick up a bit, but the bit story is the potential of a rainy end of next week with a norther.

This is the Canadian forecast model. It shows that we are mostly dry through about Tuesday, but starting Wednesday and into next weekend we are looking at rain coming down from the north. We should have a northerly breeze with this system, but it won’t be particularly strong. We’ll keep an eye on it.

Whatever the weather, you can count on Jolly Roger Roatan to find the calmest cove and the best reef in Roatan and get you back to your ship on time.

Lowest tide is 11:30 p.m. Have a great Thursday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Friend of Roatan Weather Mike Strine captured a cumulus rain cloud that brought Camp Bay Beach a third of an inch of rain yesterday. It looks like early morning showers brought a little more rain to the east side this morning around 3 a.m. We have a few clouds around, but again we will be mostly sunny today and the wind will get calmer starting tomorrow.

Here is our 7 a.m. satellite showing clouds mostly toward Guanaja, moving to the northwest. We should be mostly sunny and warm today. Our forecast is mostly dry through Monday with only a spotty morning shower here or there. Our winds today are out of the east 15 mph and seas 3 feet. We will have one more night of gusty trade winds to 20 mph and seas 4 feet. Starting tomorrow winds calm to 5-10 mph and seas 2 feet, getting down to 1 foot by Saturday.
Starting Tuesday we are looking at a mild norther. Winds shouldn’t be very strong, but there could be a good bit of rain for the period Tuesday through Thursday next week. We’ll keep an eye on it.

With lower winds the next few days it will be perfect grilling weather and the right time to head down to Carniceria Rosita for premium meats in Coxen Hole or French Harbour.

Lowest tide is 11 p.m. Have a great Wednesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Deanna Jones who captured a double rainbow yesterday at Parrot Tree. We had a quick shower yesterday evening around 5 a.m. and another round in some areas after midnight, that brought a few hundredths to a few locations on the big island, but almost an inch at the Garcia home on Guanaja. The trend is toward drier windier weather.

At 7 a.m. we have some high clouds that don’t carry rain. These clouds are actually moving from west to east, the opposite of our normal flow due to winds higher in the atmosphere. These clouds should lessen as the day goes on and we’ll see more sun this afternoon. We’ll keep small chances of overnight showers in the forecast, but most of us should be dry. Winds will be strong the next few days, with daytime winds from the east 15-20 mph and seas 3 feet and 20-25 mph and 4 feet overnights. Have a great Friday!

What a difference a month makes. February won’t be remembered for its rainfall. We’re putting 1.94 inches in the books and most stations recorded between 1.5 and 3 inches of rain for the month, signaling we are getting into dry season. Feb ’26 will be remembered for COLD!!! We recorded our all-time record low on the island at 62.2 degrees on the 10th. We don’t have to worry about that anymore. We are back into the lower 80s and that should continue into March, a typically dry month with just over 3 inches of rain. We look to be starting the month with a forecast of typical dry season trade winds a low chances of morning showers.

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Becky Welter who took this photo at Palmetto Bay. She says she keep up with Roatan Weather as a way of going back mentally to our islands when she is home in Chicago.
We have sun and a few clouds this morning and a chance of a shower here or there.

On satellite at 8:30 a.m. we have a few popcorn clouds lined up and moving west over the east end of the big island. Only one location, Carib Bight, in our weather network picked up a small shower this morning. There will be a small chance of a quick shower today, but we should be mostly sunny. Winds are out of the east at 17 mph and seas 2-3 feet. We should stay in that area of winds today and tomorrow. Thursday evening and Friday morning our trade winds pick up, though there is some disagreement between the GFS and Euro as to how strong they will get. The GFS says up to 30 mph overnights and the Euro is more conservative at about 20 mph overnights. These trade winds will last through the weekend.

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Carla Scram and shows the sun peaking through the clouds in West End. The sun doesn’t have to peak through anything but blue sky this morning. We’re in for some great weather days.

Our satellite is clear and likely will be clear all day. We don’t have much of a chance of rain through the weekend. Today through the weekend we will have east winds around 15 mph. Today we will have 3 foot seas, but starting tomorrow we will have 2 foot seas.

Good morning Bay Islands. Randy Neeman called this photo “The Calm Before The Storm.” That is right. At 5:30, Sandy Bay picked up a tenth of an inch in a morning shower, but rain and especially wind is on the way.

At 8:45 a.m. we can see the clouds just to our north that will bring the wind and rain. Both should increase as the day goes on with the peak of wind being overnight tonight, with 20-30 mph north winds and seas up to 8-9 feet, especially Northside. Rain will be off and on and this shouldn’t be a flood. Tomorrow rain will be less and winds will decrease to about 15 mph by afternoon. Wednesday and Thursday we will have 15 mph east winds and dry conditions. Friday and Saturday look calmer and drier. Have a great week!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Betsy Vannatta in West End. After a couple of days of very strong east winds, those are subsiding this morning. Winds will stay 15 mph and turn northeasterly this afternoon with seas 2-3 feet and we will stay dry today.

Tomorrow morning will start out quite calm, with north winds around 10 mph and seas 2 feet, but the will get strong quickly starting around noon through the evening, with north winds 25 mph gusting to 30 mph and seas 9 feet. Scattered showers should bring about an inch of rain, perhaps a bit more to Utila.

Wednesday winds will calm to around 15 mph by afternoon and seas will start the day around 7-8 feet and calm to 5 feet by afternoon with only a small chance of a shower.

Starting Thursday we are back to east winds around 15 mph and seas 3-4 feet east side with dry conditions into the weekend. Have a great Sunday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Andre Palmer, who captured a fairly tranquil sea looking back toward Helene. The sea will not be that calm with the possible exception of Monday morning. Today we will have daytime winds 20 mph from the east and 4 foot seas. Overnight we will have 30 mph east winds and 5-6 foot seas. Tomorrow winds will get calmer through the day, mostly around 15 mph from the northeast and seas 3 feet. Monday morning starts out with 5 mph north breezes and 1 foot seas, but by evening we should be up to 30 mph north winds. Monday night we will have heavy seas, especially north, at about 9 feet. While the weekend will be dry, we will have scattered showers, some perhaps heavy, on Monday. Tuesday things try to calm down, with midday northeast winds 15 mph and seas around 5-6 feet. Wednesday we go back to east winds around 15 mph and dry conditions the rest of next week. Have a great weekend!
