Add this to the cyclones and we have quite a brew brewing, bru.
Since cyclones seem to be dominating the skyline…taking up surfing seems like a great idea…
Sunday turned out alright for Carl Gouws in Port Shepstone…the whole day at sea…a bunch of beers…and this huge Cracker!
The cyclones of now, are having effect right down into the Transkei. Easterly swells, rain and brown water. But in between are some good spots and good opportunities. A few guys were throwing spoons in the Umzimkulu Mouth this morning, looking quite serious. The bottom fish enjoy these easterly conditions. Wayne Marsh had a nice Dorado at Ski-boat Bay yesterday, says he tagged 7!
But generally the sea down here – has got that annoying patchy brown vibe, winds changing all the time, thunder and lightning, rain…”type 1″ cyclone conditions for the South Coast of KZN. Just waiting for the swell now…

Summary: This could be as bad as Demoina was. Take precautions. Travel may be impossible.

The above link paints a picture…but Funso seems to have a mind of it’s own.
The EN1 is definitely closed for repairs from flood damage, and is purported to stay closed for three more days whilst temporary repairs are being effected. All flights have been suspended for 10 days.
The weather is great in Inhambane and Maputo today, but midnight tonight things start to hot up again.
