Friday night's brief drizzle left some puddles and maybe cooled things off a wee bit, but once the sun came up this Saturday it burned bright and hot, and by 9AM the day was steamy hot and the sun stung unprotected skin. Still a slight chance of some rain this Sunday as the first tropical wave of the season passes well to the south of us, but at least the tropical convergence zone is starting to shape up and look like a hurricane season. Shouldn't be long now until we get some real rains. Let's just hope they aren't torrential. I already expect major flooding downtown from the extremely large sandbar in the mouth of La Boquita canal backing up the water before it breaks through and causing it to gush OUT of the storm drain that was poorly installed several trienios back on the corner across from López Impresores.

There still aren't many tourists around. Local shops and restaurants remain mostly empty, certainly with very few clients. The belt-tightening continues while locals await the end of the school season for sales to pick up with the start of summer vacation period in the third week of July.

There's currently no mar de fondo warning for our region of the Pacific coast, and the waves are expected to be around a meter or so high locally with early Monday and Sunday looking best for surfing. The ocean water temp remains a tepid 30.3°C, bathtub warm.

Speaking of surfing, if there's anyplace around to catch a wave it's in front of the Inn at Manzanillo Bay, one of the region's nicest and best located lodgings, even if you aren't a surfer. Escape stressful crowds and enjoy the laid-back environment at this luxury inn located on the beach at Playa Manzanillo with 11 individual air-conditioned bungalow suites in a serene tropical setting around a pool and an excellent restaurant.
