East is gonna BLOW in KZN Today by Adam Kamdar in Durban
East is gonna BLOW in KZN Today by Adam Kamdar in Durban: Although these big east winds might wreck the ocean completely, they do make for really lekker summer weather. KZN is gonna bask in typical Natal summer conditions all day today. With a welcome sea breeze as the day heats up.
Over to Adam, on the spot in Durban…
Surfing
Unless you want to go surfing of course. The waves completely break down when this wind blows. Durban in particular gets shut down fast with it’s north facing beaches. The south and north coasts are much the same although there are some places you can find a nook or cranny to hide away in. And catch some unruly waves leftover from the last few days big ocean.
Fishing
Same story…we are right at the end of the winter gamefish season. Garrick, kob, brusher and snoek still hanging around and enjoying the somewhat stable conditions we are in right now.
22 Days until Shad Season opens!
Township Hyper are running their Black November promotions on their Facebook Page which is available at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064584376009.
Diving
Nothing to report at the moment but The Bear will be checking in with his Friday weekend dive and conditions report later this afternoon.
Synoptic
Aside from an ominous-looking low pressure sneaking across the landmass from the west, we seem to be ok for weather and wind for the weekend. That low is hemmed in on both sides by 1024 grade high-pressures indicating some stability to rely on.
The next cold front will hit Cape Town tomorrow and over the weekend. So we look to be clear of moisture-rich air until that front reaches us next week. It looks to be quite a serious front with a long reach right up to the continent this time. And should arrive Wednesday or so. The little South West puff we are gonna get on Saturday afternoon is a result of the little low-pressure hanging about. This is gonna make for a magnificent Sunday.
And of course – Monday!
