Easterly Conditions for the Weekend by Adam Kamdar in Durban KZN 7am on the 1 November 2024: There are going to be clouds over the weekend but the rain is only going to start up again next week. When the south comes to play. In the meantime, over to Adam to greet November in and get us up to speed.
Thank you Adam!

Conditions for the weekend will be nice but cloudy at times. Real rain comes next week again.
Synoptic
There is a rather substantial cold front aiming at Cape Town at the moment. The valiant high-pressures that have had our backs the last week or so are running out of steam. To keep fighting the cold fronts off with.
Synoptic chart predicts weather conditions for the weekend here in KZN to be just great. Wave conditions not so good. Water conditions also dubious at best. Although it will all improve next week after the south winds blow.
When the high pressures are in good shape, they bandy together to form a barrier to entry for cold fronts trying to get onto the African landmass. But after a while, the cold fronts build up enough energy to fight back and win.
It’s gonna take four days or so for this energised cold front to reach KZN. Monday late or Tuesday will see the first puffs from coming in from the south.
This means that we may get some Berg wind conditions on Sunday or Monday. And everybody loves a Berg wind!
Estuary fishing is a great way to escape the relentless onshore flow of wind during these high pressures. An hour south of Durban is the KZN Lower South Coast with it’s many estuaries. The biggest and most productive estuary being the Umzimkulu River mouth in Port Shepstone. Which is where we are based at the moment. If you would like to join us fishing this weekend or whenever, drop us a line on +27793269671 or umzimkulu@gmail.com.
Sardines and 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 189,000 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! And recently a capsized KZNSB boat!
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 a windy day like today to research. With instructions to install The Sardine News right on your phone or desktop.
