Spearfishing report for KZN

Spearfishing report for KZN

A very bad start to April conditions. The coast has been hammered by big surf. Guys launching from DUC have been getting fish. Surf is set to pick up to 2.5m Friday night dropping off during the day Saturday with not much wind. Sunday morning is looking better with a light north east blowing through the day and the surf drops to 1.5m. There is viz Ballito area and middle south coast area. Please be careful if you try Saturday morning. Big surf can be life threatening. Snoek have been a bit ellusive and king mackerel are still north. As always dive safe and straight spears.

“Thank you Jason Heyne for the weekly report”

Spearfishing by Jason Heyne

Sea conditions this week were average until the storm on Wednesday night bringing the rivers down and clouding up the sea. The sea is settling nicely today (Friday) with the swell dropping off and a light north east blowing. Some viz was reported north coast and middle south coast. Saturday morning early a moderate south west wind is set to blow with the swell picking up. Sunday the swell drops off in the morning and picks up towards the afternoon with a north to north east picking up speed during the day. So it looks like early Saturday and Sunday mornings are looking good for a dive. Snoek and king mackerel are still around. A lot of yellow fin tuna are being seen and prodigal sons aka cobia are hanging out with rays and big sharks. Well done Garret on getting a saily and hard luck on dropping a big wahoo! As always dive safe and straight spears.

Viz up and down the coast is good with minimal swell. Bad news is a moderate north east is forecast for tomorrow(Saturday) coming through midmorning and blowing through the night with the swell picking up to 1.5m.

KZN Spearfishing report

KZN Spearfishing report

KZN spearfishing report as prepared underwater by Jason Heynes…thanks Jason!

“Saturday morning the west came through and put paid to diving for the rest of the week till today with big surf dominating the coast line. The sea looked like it was coming right Thursday but a strong north easterly today (Friday) churned it up again. Snoek and big cuda are still around with big tropical yellow tail on deeper pinnacles. This afternoon the west has already started blowing and will pick up towards and during Saturday with the surf at 1.8m. The South West drops off Saturday night and surf drops to 1.6m Sunday with not much wind in the morning. So Sunday morning should be good for a dive. The best viz has been reported in the middle south coast area. Well done Gary Uys on pipping the South African dusky rubber lips record with a 10.6 kg fish! (Still to be verified). As always dive safe and straight spears. “

Thanks Jason!
