Big South Swells on the March in May #kzn #ocean #conditions #sardinerun2025

BIG South Swells Marching In May: That was a really decent cold front – whipping up quite a big open ocean swell. That doesn’t ever really get in at Durban or even the north and south coasts.

This big old rolling swell is angled parallel to the coast. Not so good for surfers at all. But marvelous for the ‘Surfing Sardines’. You can watch that video by Kevin Touhy by following the thumbnail in the end screen section of the video.
