Surfing, Fishing and Diving Conditions for KZN on the 31 October 2024 at 7am
Surfing, Fishing and Diving Conditions for KZN on the 31 October 2024 at 7am: Another pearler day reveals itself as we seem to be heading out of windy season and into a real spring-type scenario. October has always been an unruly and unpredictable month. And I just can’t wait for November!
Which is tomorrow!
Enjoy the quick report, and thank you to Adam Kamdar of Township Hyper. You can follow the link to their current Black November sales right HERE.
Surfing
A gentle open ocean swell of about 3 meters is working it’s way into the piers of the Durban Beachfront. But it only looks like about a metre. The south and north coasts have about double that size.

Fishing
These are excellent fishing times as we move into New Moon Spring Tides. This is my favourite time to be hunting fish. Be aware of the big currents and high waters.
Check this video we posted yesterday of a lovely square-tailed kob being wrestled in on light tackle by local Umzimkulu angler – The Nash!
Diving
The divers might be getting in between the dirty patches from some of the rivers that opened out during the first decent rains of about two weeks back.
Check out The Master Watermen website for more diving information.
Summary
As the west wind dominates, the Agulhas Current will come in close and whisk the brown stuff away. Down to the Transkei and beyond, where it is actually nutrition for the reef systems.
The west conditions also warm the water which has reached a very comfortable 22 degrees Celsius in some places this morning.
It’s gonna be a good weekend if this set of conditions can hold it all together!
