30 June 2024 7 AM Durban Beachfront Update by Adam

30 June 2024 7 AM Durban Beachfront Update by Adam: over to Adam for today’s on-the-spot update broadcasted directly from the Durban Beachfront. Where it looks like it’s all happening.

Over to Adam for his comprehensive roundup and forecast for today…

Durban in the Morning

Morning guys, it’s Sunday the 30th of June 2024, time is just past 7. 30, as you can see we’ve passed a low tide just after 4am, we’ve got the incoming tide now, next high tide will be around 10. 30. Windguru shows settled conditions, very little wind, low swell, long swell period, so lovely fishing conditions.

Current wind is 10kmph. Northwest. Temperature is 17 degrees. Pressure is 102. 2 and stable. Wave net is showing water temperatures off Durban is dropping. Still a little too warm for the sardines but at least it’s in the right direction. Sardine action yesterday. There was netting at Pennington and Scottborough.

Still plenty of sardines around. Lots of shoals in the deep. Next, we’ll have our sunrise view. So these are the conditions off Durban. Beautiful settled conditions. Not much of a wave for the surfers but Lots of boats launched today. There are still about 10 boats out at the bait spot at the North Breakwater.

And I counted about 15 boats fishing at the Blue Lagoon, Virginia area. I don’t know if there’s Garrick action there, or if everyone’s trying for snook this morning, but lots of boats on the water. I’ll be heading out to sea later, and stay tuned for more updates. If we come across shoals of sardines out at sea, we’ll definitely post to thesardine.co.za.

29 June 2024 7 AM Sardine News by Adam in Durban

29 June 2024 7 AM by Adam Sardine News from Durban

29 June 2024 7 AM Sardine News by Adam in Durban

29 June 2024 7 AM Sardine News by Adam in Durban: and we have Adam Kamdar with his reliable and comprehensive Conditions and Sardine Report for today. A very exciting sardine-friendly-looking Saturday.

Over to Adam…

29 June 2024 7 AM Sardine News by Adam in Durban

“Good morning, everyone. It’s Saturday, June 29th, 7 a.m. We’ve just passed the last low tide at around 3 a.m., and the next high tide is expected at about 9 a.m. The Wind Guru forecast predicts a pleasant day with temperatures mostly around 20 degrees, minimal swell, and light winds—ideal conditions for fishing and a promising outlook for Sunday and Monday as well. The fishing tides indicate a northwest wind blowing at 8 kilometres per hour with an atmospheric temperature of 16 degrees. The atmospheric pressure stands at 1022 and is stable. WaveNet suggests a decreasing trend in water temperature, yet it remains around 21 degrees, which is slightly warmer than ideal. Sardines have been sighted from Winklespruit to Amanzimtoti. Keep an eye out for more activity heading towards the Durban beachfront. Coming up next, we’ll catch the sunrise view. And here it is, the sun rising over the Golden Mile. The conditions are perfect for fishing, though the waves may disappoint surfers. Expect chilly winter conditions in Durban with temperatures staying between 20 to 22 degrees throughout the day, partly cloudy skies, and little wind. Have a fantastic day, everyone, and stay updated with sardine.co.za.”

Thank you Adam!

Shad Fishermen

I don’t know how to go about insulting the hordes of shad fishermen trashing every single beach that they go to. I would like to insult their parentage. Their schooling? Their sense of decency? Their ethics? Their morals? I mean, which part don’t you get?

Don’t litter the friggin beaches. You bunch of senseless, disgusting and filthy individuals.

You know exactly who you are.

But I would like to acknowledge and thank the handful of people, none of them shad fishermen, that do help authorities deal with this despicable bunch’s trail of trash. And help clean up after said morons.

Garrick Fishermen

Moving on to the Garrick. The limit is 2 per day. This is not negotiable just because the DAFF okes have their hands full. If you remove a whole shoal of garrick, there isn’t another shoal around the corner waiting to take its place. They are of a finite number and our garrick population are completely isolated here.

Sardines every Day by Adam Kamdar 26 June #2024 from the #Durban #Beachfront #sardinerun2024 #sardine #run

Sardines every Day by Adam Kamdar 26 June 2024

Sardines every Day by Adam Kamdar 26 June #2024 from the #Durban #Beachfront #sardinerun2024 #sardine #run

Sardines every Day by Adam Kamdar 26 June #2024 from the #Durban #Beachfront #sardinerun2024 #sardine #run: thank you to Adam for taking the time to record this morning’s early report…

Good morning, guys. It’s Wednesday, the 26th of June 2024, 7. 15 a. m. As you can see from the tide chart, we are about half an hour past sunrise. We’ve just passed the high tide. The next low tide will be around 12h30 in the afternoon. The forecast shows settled conditions for today. Very low winds, scattered low-level clouds could indicate some rain, but there’s no rain forecast for today.

Tides for fishing shows current wind of 13 kilometers per hour from the west southwest. Current temperature in Durban is 18 degrees. The pressure currently, atmospheric pressure at Durban is 1, 030 hectopascals. Water temperature is still hovering in the 20 degree, 20 to 21 degree mark.

Sardines yesterday were netted in the Illovo and Kingsborough, Winklescrate area. It seems like they are netting ssardines every day now.

And next we’ll have the view of the sunrise. And here we have the glorious sun coming up. As shown on Winguru. The swell period is quite long, which leads to very settled seas. As you can see, not much of a wave for the surfers today but beautiful conditions for netting. The sardines still haven’t seemed to reach the golden mile, but, uh, they’re just not far away now.

They’re just around the corner. Wiklespruit, Illovo. Possible netting today even at Warner Beach, maybe in Toti, and after Toti the next stop is Durban. Have a good one guys, and don’t forget to watch the Sardine News for more updates.

7AM Conditions Report for KZN 21 June 2024 by Adam Kamdar of Township Hyper

7AM Conditions Report 21 June 2024 by Adam Kamdar

7AM Conditions Report for KZN 21 June 2024 by Adam Kamdar of Township Hyper

7AM Conditions Report for KZN 21 June 2024 by Adam Kamdar of Township Hyper: Adam is up and at it this beautiful KZN Winter morning…

?Good morning, guys. It’s 6:39am on Friday, the 21st of June. Here’s your tide chart for today. As you can see, we’re in the middle of the outgoing tide. Low tide should be in around three hours time. Your wind guru forecast shows moderate northerly winds becoming fresh northeasterly in the afternoon, with partly cloudy temperatures ranging from 18 degrees up to about 24 degrees.

This is the atmospheric pressure. Tides for fishing shows that it’s stable at 127 HPA. Your current data shows how widely it can fluctuate from day to day. Yesterday was almost 0. 7 meters per second. Today’s drop down to 0, 0. 1 meters per second. Next, we look at tides for fishing showing excellent fishing conditions today for one hour around sunrise and close to sunset.

And in the middle of the day, two hours before noon, fishing should really be on. Next we’ll move to your Durban view. And here’s the Durban scene. Absolutely gorgeous morning. There’s a bit of chop on the water from the northerly wind. This wind will freshen in the afternoon and become north easterly.

You can see how the flags are stiff in the breeze. The trees are wavering in the wind. That’s towards Blue Lagoon.

If you’re looking for sardines it should be around the Winkelspruit to Warner Beach area today. Just watch The Sardine News on social media to follow all the latest movements of the sardines.

Have a great day.

Sardines in Durban Tomorrow?

Sardines in Durban Tomorrow Possible

Sardines in Durban Tomorrow?

Sardines in Durban Tomorrow? The blitz that the sardines are on this year has been impressive. They came out of the starting gates on time and in sync. But then something happened that had them accelerate and cover the entire Transkei south to north, in less than a week to a few days.

This happened during the tornado-inducing cut-off low-pressure storm we had last week. The sardines must have slipped out to sea. Found favourable swell and water conditions out there. And put pedal to the metal.

Over to Kevin Tuohy in Qora…

Scottburgh

From early, Scottburgh Beach has been buzzing with sardine activity. Nets went in and sardines were for sale on the main drag before 8 AM!

Umgababa

This hot spot continued to deliver today. This morning nets went in and came out full up.

Freeland Park

This is lovely long beach that is perfectly suited to sardines and catching them. Nets were going in at around 1 PM. 
There are sure to be many more nets going in this afternoon. Some sardines have made it to Brighton and Ansteys Beach already. They are far out but tomorrow is a great bet for Durban Beach Front.

In from of the Cutty Sark, the sharks were putting on a spectacular show again.

Brighton Beach

Better known as Cave Rock, out off the tidal pool at 2 PM or so today, thousands of feeding gannets were busy annihilating these first few pilot shoals swimming past. The way that these pilot shoals got all the way to The Bluff so quickly and efficiently certainly will go down in history as some sort of record.

Durban Tomorrow

There is little doubt that the sardines will be on the Durban beachfront tomorrow morning. They might even be there this afternoon!

Watch this space!
