5 Video Reports:Clear Skies are Coming Back by Adam Kamdar in Dbn 30 September 2024

6am REPORT Clear Skies are Coming Back by Adam Kamdar in Dbn 30 September 2024: The difference in weather between Durban and Port Shepstone today is fascinating. Durban has been raining Natal proper since earlier. And year here in Port Shepstone, it’s sunny skies and Chevrolet. With some drizzle making for a proverbial monkey’s wedding.

The surf is way up down here on the KZN Lower South Coast. Durban’s south coast must be pounding with the almost spring low tide today. And seeing from Adams’s report this early morning, the surf in Durban town between the piers is pretty much on. Not very big since it is so tucked away from the SW swells running at 3m or more out at sea.

Over to Adam in Durban…

Thank you Adam!

The Umzimkulu Estuary this morning in a light drizzle. Very pleasant out there but only a few koblets to report

Port Shepstone

Fishing and Surfing Report from The Sandspit in Port Shepstone…

Ok it is not quite the surfing emergency that we normally get excited about. And we are not in mid-winter anymore. But any waves that resemble waves like today need to be taken note of.

Durban seems to be a good call as some of the SSW swell curves around the harbour piers and makes it into the town beaches. Where the SW is almost directly offshore and really cleans the swell up. Unfortunaly the swell loses a lot of size as it travels around the corner and tries to get in.

Down south it is quite mean but the usual point breaks should be an absolute treat if the wind can hold a slightly offshore angle like it has been doing all morning.

Fishing

There definitely will be good fishing somewhere today and since it is the last day of shad season, anyone who can should be out there right now. There are some huge gaps and channels at the main spots.

Last Holiday Beach Report from Scottburgh 30 September 2024 by Cliff Bamber who is there! Cliff Bamber runs us through conditions and prospects for today at Scottburgh Beach. Where he reports onshore and cold conditions. A stark difference to here in Port Shepstone where the monkeys wedding is proceeding as planned.

Thank you Cliff!

JBay

Well there certainly is motion in the ocean happening down in freezing cold JBay as a new system comes barreling in.

Sardines n Sighting Maps

It has been a fantastic  sardine run this memorable 2024. And all the action has been logged right here on The Sardine News. This year’s map has been viewed 185,000 times and keeps growing.

Which led us to decide to keep the map live. And keep adding unique marine animal sightings and events. That occurs non-stop all year round. This year we started to log more whale and dolphin sightings. And we even had a shipwreck! And a freaking tornado!

These events will from now on be included in the Sardine News Sightings Map for 2024. And on the 1 January 2025, we shall start all over again.

Here are the links to existing and past Sardine Sighting Maps. Great for chilly day like today to research. With instructions to install The Sardine News right on your phone or desktop.
