KZN East Coast Spearfishing report

KZN East Coast Spearfishing report by Jason Heyne

Well the week so far hasn’t been good with big swell pounding the coast. A big south west has just arrived in Durban tonight (Friday) and will blow up to 35 knts bringing with it even bigger swell up to 4m. The wind dies down Saturday night. Swell drops off a bit to 1.8m Sunday with an offshore blowing in the morning switching to a light north east later in the day. Monday looks absolutely awesome with 1.1m swell running and a light offshore in the morning switching to a light south west in the afternoon. There was viz both south and north today. Monday is the go day! The zululand boys have been getting some quality fish. With this early winter swell and cold front the winter fish should be arriving en masse on the south coast. I have had reliable reports of big sardine action in the kei. As always dive safe and straight spears.””

Thank you Jason Heyne!

Spearfishing South Africa with Jason Heyne

Spearfishing South Africa with Jason Heyne

The sea conditions this week have been epic. Flat glassy sea with 1m or less swell running. The bad news is that there is a big cold front heading up the coast from Cape Town caused by a huge low pressure storm over the Atlantic ocean. The South West starts blowing midmorning Saturday with the swell starting at 1m picking up to 2.5m later in the afternoon. The South West dies off late Saturday night. Sunday morning there will be a large heavy swell running at 2m with a moderate north east picking up by lunchtime and obliterating the sea. So Saturday morning early is the best bet for a dive. There is good viz on the north and south coasts. Cuda and snoek are still on the north coast with some fair size gt’s around. South coast some early small garrick have been seen and there are some daga salmon out deeper. The wahoo are still on the Aliwal shoal. As always dive safe and straight spears.

Thanks again Jason – you da man!

KZN Spearfishing in Wintertime – by Jason Heyne

And we have Jason Heyne delivering the news every spearo is gasping for! It’s ON! KZN Spearfishing in Wintertime is what we live for! Winter conditions are gonna blanket our beautiful east coastline with idyllic conditions – offshores every morning, clean water  and calm surf…and coming soon to a beach near you – sardines!

Ok, over to Jason Heyne, telling it like it is…

“Sea conditions have really improved this week especially along the south coast the problem is cold water has moved in in places so finding warmer water is key. The weather conditions this weekend are great with a light north east on Saturday and 1.4m swell running and a light south west blowing Sunday with a 1.2m swell running. Wahoo are on the Aliwal shoal with big tropical yellow tail on the deeper pinnacles. Queen mackerel are inshore in the warmer water with daga salmon and blood snapper out deeper. White mussel cracker have arrived on the south coast. Best viz is on the south coast from Umkomaas down. Both Saturday and Sunday are looking really good for a dive. As always dive safe and straight spears. ”

Spearfishing news for KZN

A very bad start to April conditions. The coast marred 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!”
