Durban KZN Bumpy Seas and East Winds 8 Aug 24
7am Durban KZN Bumpy Seas and North Winds: a short period swell can be fun for some people but mostly it makes the sea really bumpy. And then when the northeaster gets up, makes for really choppy conditions. The sea is not very big today, but the complicated conditions make for an ocean to be wary of.
Over to Adam who explains the day in more detail…
Another strong blow in the afternoon by the northeaster will bring the water temperatures down. And we may still have a last gasp at the visiting sardines.
We might get another Durban KZN Conditions report later today, but most likely not. These are not ideal conditions for much. Maybe diving crayfish in the shallows? Or hunting lost shoals of sardines or shad on the south coast. Some nooks and crannies don’t mind the east winds and east swells.
It is also onshore today up in Mozambique. Down in the Transkei. Jbay is where the high pressure runs out and the south winds prevail. The surf has been kraaking the outers down there intermittently for weeks now. Some epic days you can see on https://brucifire.co.za or at https://youtube.com/@brucifire.
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.
