Chicken Joe South West Winds in KZN Today
South West Winds in KZN Today 25 Sep 2024 by Adam #kzn #sea #conditions
Better late than never! This morning’s report by Adam at 8am took some time to get online finally. Let’s just say some fishing got in the way!
The lovely South West winds have painted the Indian Ocean a pretty picture. Especially in the Durban Beach area where this wind is practically direct offshore. Conditions that surfers cherish.
The SW wind also makes good for anglers. The high pressure of the east systems is more favourable for catching most fish. However, the SW low-pressure systems can also turn it on. Garrick, snoek and things like these clean and clear inshore conditions.
But it’s the skin divers that revel in the SW winds the most. The North East winds cause an upwelling of cold nutrient-filled water to the surface (ruining the viz). In contrast, the South West systems calm the surface and settle the sea. Ink blue water moves right back over the cold and underwater becomes crystal palace. Check out the Master Watermen website and YouTube Channel as listed below, for more news from down deep.
Master Watermen – news from way down deep
Ice-cold Drakensberg water has arrived in the Sandspit in Port Shepstone. This has been occurring over the last few days. It is icy in that water. However, the ocean is at 20 Degrees which will help moderate things. Bear in mind that the first meter or so may be ice cold. But, here is an active halocline moving with the tides. Below the halocline, is the warm blue water that is trapped in the deeper holes and channels. This is where the fish are actively feeding. Follow the halocline!
Jason brings it in with another jam-packed report from underwater…
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 182,000 times and 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!
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 chilly day like today to research. With instructions to install The Sardine News right on your phone or desktop.
