7am 18 July 2024 Fishing and Sardine Report from Shelley Beach Slipway by Adam Kamdar: Adam is out as roving reporter checking in today right from the slipway at Shelley Beach down on the KZN lower south coast.

Wind

The wind is up! As we move into spring tides this week, the winds look to be heading for their usual argument as stiff north winds are countered by stiff south winds daily. Neap tides most often host the good weather conditions we have recently being enjoying.

And now we are actually heading straight into windy season too. August it really starts though. And in KZN, September and October – it bloooooows!

And at the other end of the spectrum, up in Vilankulos in Mozambique, the weather is absolutely delightful in these three months. Day after day of bliss whilst in KZN, we are being blown away!

Check out all we have on offer in our Trips and Travel section. If you want to try Mozambique out, let us ease the pain of organising it all. We do it all for you. Accommodation, boats, charters, tours.

Waves

Well it’s flat and east today. But there is promise in the form of rumours drifting up from down south. You can check out these rumours yourself at https://brucifire.co.za. As Bruce comments us through a lovely direction swell that surprised even Bruce this very morning.

This next month will be producing great mornings of offshores. Many swells coming up to meet them. Sand still a problem in the places that need.

Water

This east wind will be not be helping with the water clarity. It is still acceptable in some places though. Today some spearos will surely have decent water and fish to report.

But the south winds that are around the corner, will clean things up one more time and the weekend spring tides should be a lot of fun.
