KZN Ocean Conditions at 7am 10 July 2024 by Adam Kamdar

KZN Ocean Conditions at 7am 10 July 2024 by Adam Kamdar: Cooler than crisp! But aside from the 12-degree air we were treated to yesterday, the ocean conditions are once again superfluous. Surfers are surfing. Paddlers and paddling. Fishermen fishing…etc.

7 am Durban

Paints a really pretty picture. Adam Kamdar of Township Hyper in Durban takes us through the conditions and prospects for today and the next few days. Things are decidedly sardine out there today.

Big south swell coming up from the Cape, threatening to muddy the clean waters. But the water temperatures are dropping all over the place and we may be in for another action-packed weekend of sardines.

Sardine Run 2024

This must be the longest sardine run on record as Kevin in Qora recently reported another substantial shoal, with the usual accompanyments of gannets and predators, on it’s merry way north.

You can watch that report right here on the Sardine New Channel, anytime.

Kevin is right at the far end of the Transkei so you can imagine the perilous journey that that shoal faces ahead of it. This journey can takle a week. Or a month. Depending on ocean and current conditions.

Sardine Map 2024

This map is where we log all the most relevant and confirmed sardine sightings through the run. With links to the video and photographic action. If you follow this map along the timeline at the left, you will be able to see exactly how the sardine run progresed this year so far.

You are then also able to look at the previous few years that we did this data collection. Links are below the Sardine Run 2024 map.
