7am Late Edition 14 July 2024 Sardine Netters on Durban Beachfront: another delightful Durban Beachfront KZN Conditions and Sardine Report by Adam Kamdar of Township Hyper. With sardine netters plying their trade right on the beach in front of the paddling pools.

Adam’s vantage point gives a comprehensive technical demonstration as to how the netters operate. The completely smooth and clear water demonstrates all the components of a netting exercise clearly.

Thank you and over to Adam…

.Sardine Netters on Durban Beach 7am 14 July 2024 by Adam Kamdar

Good morning, Durban, it’s. 7:34am just after sunrise. You can see the next high tide will be at 8. 39am and the low tide after that will be at 2:46pm.

Wind guru shows southwesterly winds today, moderate. Temperatures around 20 to 22 degrees. Wind final showing northwesterly winds. Offshore wind, southwesterly wind. Tides for fishing, the major period for fishing today is very high activity, from 4. 51am to 6. 51am. That’s shown in the graph, you can see it’s an exceptional time to be fishing.

The moon phase is the first quarter so it’s neap tides at the moment. Wave nets still not giving accurate readings, um, or reliable readings, but water temperature seems to be around 21 degrees. Next, we’ll have the sunrise view. And that’s the sun rising over the Durban beaches, and I’ll pan to the right and you’ll be able to see the sardine netters are in action already.

There’s one net dropped. You can see it clearly. You can see that arc. There’s one boat on the beach and one boat, uh, on the back line. Uh, the back line boat probably is trying to round up more sardines or, or round them up in the net. Maybe just push them closer to shore. Uh, we’ve got divers in the water.

You can see them splashing there. Let’s zoom in a bit more. You can see the two divers in the nets there. Creating a commotion to chase the sardines into the bag of the net. And there you have the crew on the beach, already hauling in the first net of sardines.

So the action is here on the Durban Beachfront guys, just opposite the paddling pools. If you want to see the action, come down. And stay tuned to thesardine.co.za.
