8 May 2025 Durban Conditions Sunrise Timelapse
8 May 2025 Durban Conditions Sunrise Timelapse: Another Perfect Day…
Adam Kamdar of Township Hyper in Durban has been creating pieces of art recently. With his camera! If you have been watching The Sardine News show on YouTube, you will know and appreciate what I am talking about…
The timelapses!
Not only are these magnificent efforts portraying Durban for what it is – a paradise of some sort – but they also reveal far more than we ever thought. About the ocean and atmospheric conditions at that moment. The sped-up footage betrays all that the normal pace eye can not see at all.
A big thank you to Adam. You can show your appreciation by popping over to his Township Hyper Facebook page. This is also where Adam runs the promotional side of things at the huge shop and keeps his shoppers up-to-date with relevant goings-on in and around Durban.

Good morning aye shot Adam
that was the best
most prettiest time lapse we’ve done so far
Durban is paradise really is the most wondrous place
okay and the ocean is absolutely marvelous today
if you can go you must go boy
this is the conditions that we’ve been waiting for
for so long these perfect days cheese keep us alive
the dreams of these days so get out there if you can
alright let’s start up with the moon
there’s quite a big moon 84%
that’s great news for the impending possible
maybe sardine embarkation up the coast
so with Gary Hook reckons they gotta have a full moon
this is the first full moon that’s come along
since the time that we’ve been talking about sardines
way too early I acknowledge that
way too early that we actually studying the conditions
that the sardines need to come up here
and that’s why
I mentioned the hot water in the beginning
because that Agulhas current is screaming again
that will make the counter current stronger
and we’re stepping closer to the sardines bit by bit
there’s hardly any waves
so surfing I’m not sure about but diving and fishing
you gotta go eh 18 to 24 degrees stable atmosphere
1 0 1 8
light on shore in the off
light offshore in the morning
and light on shore in the afternoon
as per usual low tide in the morning
the tides are still moving quite a lot 92 minutes
that is quite a big jump and then high tide
13 forty eight and low tide in the afternoon 19:41

so we have a pretty much of a very low tide today
uh this morning and then obviously
tide turning towards the afternoon lunch time
as you see it’s looking quite awesome
little bit of a the swell here n there
but more than like an ankle tapper
but the fishing conditions are superb
a little bit of a
offshore blowing down here at The Block
at the moment believe the wind kinda gusts about 10 Ks
today during the course o the day
