26 August 2024 Monday Blues in Durban Today
26 August 2024 Monday Blues in Durban Today: Durban Today by Adam Kamdar 26 August 2024 Adam Kamdar of Township Hyper brings us an unusually not-so-perfect Monday morning report. The east is on the upset sea already. The swell is still running strong. And the water is definitely not clear. On the bright side, these are sardine conditions to the tee. So if there are any leftover shoals hiding in the deep, now would be the time to expect a final flurry of sardine activity in the Durban area.
Over to Adam with the full prognosis and imagery…
Spearfishing
Then we had a late report from The Bear last evening…discussing the huge swells crashing in up and down the KZN coastline.
Mozambique
Well, the waves have been firing here in the Inhambane area. A strong and consistent east swell has been bombarding the coast here for the past few days. This angle gets right into all the nooks and crannies. Videos to follow.
The fishing gets good when the surf gets up in this place. We have had huge GTs swimming around us in the surf at Tofo and Tofinho before. They come right in close hunting in the white water. There are plenty of bonefish swimming along the backline at Barra at the moment too.
Couple boats launched into the shorebreak this morning. We shall see later.
Sardine Maps
Having intel to make the right decisions can save you hours and hours of frivolous sardine hunting. We have taken great care to log the activity of each sardine run since 2021. These records are available for anyone to look at.
If you study the maps year to year, you will see that right now we are only just in the middle of good sardine conditions. And that in previous years catches were made right into the summer months.
