Friday 13th Sep 2024 KZN Reports by Adam Kamdar, Cliff Bamber and Sean Lange: In another information-filled report, Adam Kamdar of Township Hyper discusses current conditions and possible outcomes for the weekend. The high-pressure east system in place off of KZN right now has produced a choppy sea with a very short (6 secs) swell. Not good for much.

BUT…

There is a little blow coming through to us from the south later today. At a nice SW angle, this wind is going to brush the ocean clean, warm and smooth when it blows through the night tonight. We could be waking to absolute KZN perfection in the morning.

Thank you Adam…

Cliff Bamber Scottburgh Beach Report Friday 13th September 2024 #kzn #surfing #fishing #diving

Cliff Bamber checks in with more KZN reports. From Scottburgh this Friday the 13th of September in 2024. The sea has made a remarkable recovery and is almost looking usable.

Thank you Cliff!

Shelley Beach

Only two boats launched this morning at Shelley Beach…into a washing machine of a launch as the strong east swell was grinding in. The two boats were commercials going for geelbek – which seem to be plentiful at the moment.

Seapark

Down on the south coast, the secret is out, Seapark has been cooking the last few days. Lotsa guys on it though. Only a few weeks left and the shad season is closed until 1 December.

As the water finally cools down to an acceptable level, these shad really seem to like the same water as the sardines – about 19 degrees Celsius – the game is on again. They should be all over the place so try to find your very own shoal to work. And avoid the crowds in the more popular places. Like Seapark. It really is overcrowded and the litter is piling up. I am not sure yet why most shad fishermen are so dirty. They leave behind all manners of rubbish. Empty bait packaging. Booze bottles. Cigarette butts. It’s really hard to work out how anybody can have so little respect for the very ocean they are harvesting from.

Underwater

And then finally for the day…

Banger Weekend for KZN according to The Bear 13 Sep 24 #spearfishing #report #brusher #garrick And finally the day is wrapped up by The Bear with his highly positive outlook on this weekend coming up. Looking forward to hearing all what happened!

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 another chilly day like today to research. With instructions to install The Sardine News right on your phone or desktop.
