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.
Fishing
There
are over 450 species of fish in the Galapagos Islands,and about 17%
of these are endemic (not found anywhere else in the world).

Marlins ,black,stiped, & blue.
