5 PM 3 August 2024 State of the Ocean Address Kwazulu Natal
5 PM 3 August 2024 State of the Ocean Address Kwazulu Natal and the good weather just keeps on giving as we start this magical Saturday with mild offshore winds. Some swell running. And the onshore building into the afternoon.
The clean and glassy ocean reveals plenty of action out off of Durban today. Baitballs can be clearly seen rising with the sun. There have been mixed nets of mackerel and sardines past few days and with today’s water temperature having finally dropped a degree – down to 21, maybe more Natal sardines will sneak into the bay.

Surfing
With a dropping tide and an offshore breeze, by low things should, or could, be looking up in some places. August is actually a great month for surfing if you can avoid the winds. Getting out there early is best bet.

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.
