Fishing Seasons

The marine currents basically set the pattern for the Galapagos Islands weather. The "garua" season June to December is influenced by southern currents coming along the west coast of South America moving towards the Galapagos from the South of the ecuadorian coast there is a yipe of misty rain called garua. By the end of November,the trade winds are not as strong and the "rainy" season begins,due to the warmer currents coming from the west coast of North America down to the north of Ecuador and again due to the Coriolis effect they turn to Galapagos making the surface of the ocean warmer all over the Galapagos increasing precipitation however this rain showers last for no longer than an hour leaving the rest of the day sunny ,warm and beautiful for visits ,In general there is no bad time for visiting the Galapagos Islands.
