Perfect KZN Surfing Conditions 6 November 2024 by Adam Kamdar in Durban: Another day of surfiing perfection for KZN and the Eastern Cape. The Transkei Wild Coast must be pure magic this morning. Aswell as the some of the north and south coast spots in KZN.

Luckily we have Adam Kamdar right in the centre of our favourite surf city – Durban. Adam has a bird’s eye view of the whole scene so let’s swithch on over to Adam and watch the report…

Fishing

Well, the big swell is gonna make fishing in most places and in most forms, tricky. It is true that fish like the swell big and waves breaking hard and aerating the water. But just be careful out there on days like today.

The tide will start coming back in at around midday. This would be a good time to find a hole to pop a bait into. There are still plenty of garrick hanging around so late in the year since the main rains have not pelted down on us yet.

Duarte is back from the Great Barrier Reef and has already been posting. Starting with his trilogy of experiences out off Cairns for really big fish. Click HERE to go to his website.

Diving

The Bear of The Master Watermen website delivers his weekly report on Tuesdays and Fridays each week. Looking forward to today’s instalment. Once we’ve all seen that we will all know exactly what fish to be targeting.

And here it is…

Warning!

The big rains are coming, there is no stopping them this year since we have about 20% extra moisture in the atmosphere from the Hunga Tunga volcano eruption that occurred last year. This fantastic eruption injected vaste concentrations of moisture-rich air into the skies.

And it’s got to come back down.

Realistically, and you can bear witness to this issue in the States and in Europe right now, you can expect that storms and rain could be 20% more extreme this season, which in KZN could mean an added metre or two to our normal flood levels.

Add to this the simple fact that the ANC in its pure incompetence, has not cleared the waterways of debris from last year’s floods. Literally, nothing has been done since then. I drove through Margate yesterday, on the KZN South Coast, and will tell you unequivocally, that this place is not prepared for what is coming next. Repairs, under the ANC government, take years longer than they should.

And are ineffective.

Got to start taking precautions for extra-flooding yourself, NOW!

Sardines and Sighting Maps

It has been a fantastic sardine run this memorable 2024. And all the action has been logged right here on The Sardine News. This year’s map has been viewed 191,000 times and just keeps growing.

Which led us to decide to keep the map live. And keep adding unique marine animal sightings and events. That occurs non-stop all year round. This year we started to log more whale and dolphin sightings. And we even had a shipwreck! And a freaking tornado! And recently a capsized KZNSB boat! We have been updating the map with recent catches too…

These events will from now on be included in the Sardine News Sightings Map for 2024. And on the 1 January 2025, we shall start all over again.

Here are the links to existing and past Sardine Sighting Maps. Great for a windy day like today to research. With instructions to install The Sardine News right on your phone or desktop.
