Me and the mrs are headed to the galapagos at the end of july. The past week around San Francisco has been unseasonably warm (low 70s) and beautiful and today I read that we are in the midst of la nina and that it should continue for the next 3 to 6 months..here is the story

anyway, i have read plenty online about what can and has appened to the galapagos during and el nino event but there is precious little info that I could find about la nina. Can anyone here shed any light as to the effects on migration patterns, specifically whale shark and hammerhead's? I'm hoping it is not as pronounced as el nino which can drive both species away from the galapagos with ease.
