7 July 2024 Sunday Sardine and Ocean Conditions RoundUp
7 July 2024 Sunday Sardine and Ocean Conditions RoundUp: this crisp Sunday morning holds promise aplenty for oceangoers as conditions reveal themselves to be quite friendly.
Sardines in the Surf Report?!
As Adam took to the sea early this morning to catch some breakfast, we crossed over to Roosta who was luckily on the beach at the time. The surf isn’t as promising as Roosta would like it. But he did show us a shoal of sardines extending for hundreds of metres on the backline off the Anerley area.
This shoal is moving north with the swell and could come within netting range as the tide drops through the morning. Becoming very low at 10:40 am. This is time to be on patrol and hunting for sardines trapped in the gulleys and channels.
Spearfishing
Another favourable looking day ahead for the spearo community. The Bear reports good water as they try to make up for lost time accumulated during all the wayward weather of the past few years.
There are snoek and garrick to shoot. A lot of kob. And the odd couda! The warm water encouraging our favourite gamefish further and further south. Where they are bound to run into the shoals of sardines coming the other way. Get full of sards. Slow down. And…
Wham!
The Transkei
Finally, we reach Transkei where Coral Bella does the Freedom O Clock update for us. From the beach at Mdumbi. Alls I can add is that it must be freezing down thataway right now!
Thanks to all the contributors to today’s sardine news roundup. It is clear from today’s report that we all can learn from each others different ocean activities. Sardines in the Surf Report?!
There are strong tides today. There will be currents and things. The ocean is not always your friend!
