Typical Monday Conditions for KZN Today 4 Nov 2024 by Adam Kamdar from the Durban Beachfront
Typical Monday Conditions for KZN Today 4 Nov 2024 by Adam Kamdar from the Durban Beachfront: The cycle of great Monday’s might be firing up again as today unfolds dreamily. The last two Mondays were absolutely terrible. The week ahead looks to be rather interesting as the low-pressure systems are dominating southern Africa right now.
Over to Adam on the Durban Beachfront with an in-depth analysis of current conditions…
Synoptic
You can see on the synoptic chart here, that there is a huge high-pressure off to the west and sitting pretty over the Atlantic Ocean. Moving towards the east and over the landmass of Africa, we have a bunch of convoluted low-pressures trying to team up and maintain dominance for the week.
Further across towards Australia and over the vaste Indian Ocean, there is another large high-pressure concentration. This is keeping all the low pressures working together.
The next cold front, due in about a week or less, looks to be dominated and thrust south by the massive high pressures on either side. This means good weather and maybe even some decent swell from the east.
Surfing
Well, we got summer mornings and insides to ride as we move into the summer and rainy season. This is a challenging time of the year but if you are early enough, you gonna get the waves.
Fishing
It’s a beautiful fishing ocean right now. The tide is backing off and the weather seems to be holding dry for now. There is gonna be some wet coming later tomorrow and during the week. You may have to take an umbrella fishing with you!
This garrick was caught this very morning! Margate Pier.
The kingfish below was caught on an artificial in the Umzimkulu Estuary recently. A helluva fight on light tackle. And a real treat for the budding angler. Come and join us for this type of easy and comfortable fishing at https://umzimkuluadrenalin.co.za anytime.
Diving
Well, let’s wait for The Bear of The Master Watermen website, for his comprehensive dive report for the weekend. This should pop later today, stay tuned to stay tuned in.
