Surfers Getting Wet Today But Its Clearing Fast by Adam Kamdar Durban Beachfront 7am 8 October 2024: Getting wet in the rain doesn’t work for some. But our readers love getting wet. Like the surfers out there in the rain. Loving life! There are ski-boats catching garrick off Blue Lagoon all morning today. And the divers, well let’s just say they are always wet!

Over to Adam Kamdar from the beach in Durban…

And for the cool Durban gallery this morning…

High Pressure

Fortunately for our sun worshippers, we are still in a prevailing high-pressure system sitting right along the entire coastline. We should clear up fast.

You might notice that we have been including a synoptic chart in our Heads Up Display on our daily video reports recently. If you can keep the image of the synoptic current in your head, you will be able to far more reliably see what’s coming.

It seems the weather forecasters recently have been resorting to manipulating forecasts in order to get more views (people are like 100x more inclined to click on bad news repeatedly). Then they change the model that they use (there are more than 6 commercially available weather models – all work slightly different and produce different results). Or more likely they simply choose the model that suits their revenue requirements for that week. Monitor this for yourselves, and then comment below after your have experienced it for a while.

There does seem to be some revenge being cooked up in the southwest way off of Cape Town. This is the time of the year that cold fronts can accelerate and join up with others. Check the synoptic for what is possibly headed our way. Should take about a week or so to hit Cape Town. And an other week to get to us.

Sardines n 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 185,000 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.
