Chilled Friday for KZN Fishing, Surfing and Diving Enthusiasts

Chilly Friday for KZN Fishing, Surfing and Diving Enthusiasts: Adam Kamdar reports waking up to 11 degrees Celsius this icy KZN morning. Imagine being in the mountains!?

Durban 7h30

Over to Adam and his bird’s eye view of the prevailing conditions and the magical Durban Beachfront…

You might notice a subtle new addition to Adam’s report today. The introduction of daily synoptic charts as made available by South African Weather Services! This is mainly to serve old-timers. At a glance, these guys can glean all the weather and sea conditions needed for the next few days. Youngsters should also learn how to read the synoptic charts. Some of the weather predictor websites around these days always show the weather model that has the worst possible outcome.

Since humans respond 10x to 100x more to warnings and bad news content, this is how they get more clicks. And more money. I mean those websites used to work two weeks into the future with ease. Nowadays, the model and thus the readings are being changed to always bring bad weather news.

Tonight and tomorrow are forecast to rain cats and dogs.

Let’s see…

4PM

Well, it’s raining cats and dogs here on the KZN South Coast too now. But it was a beautiful day until about an hour ago. I believe Durban has been raining non-stop all day.

Luckily, we have The Bear of The Master Watermen website to cheer us up. With a chock full spearfishing report…thanks Bear!

Sardine n Sighting Maps

It has been a fantastic sardine run this memorable 2024. And all the action has been logged right here on The Sardine News. This year’s map has been viewed 180,000 times and keeps growing.

Which led us to decide to keep the map live. And keep adding unique marine animal sightings and events. That occurs non-stop all year round. This year we started to log more whale and dolphin sightings. And we even had a shipwreck! And a freaking tornado!

These events will from now on be included in the Sardine News Sightings Map for 2024. And on the 1 January 2025, we shall start all over again.

Here are the links to existing and past Sardine Sighting Maps. Great for chilly day like today to research. With instructions to install The Sardine News right on your phone or desktop.
