KZN Bear Report Sardine run 2023-06-09
Hi peeps and welcome to the Bear’s weekend dive report brought to you by thesardine.co.za and masterwatermen.co.za.
Diving conditions were slow beginning of the week but the water started cleaning up and settling from Wednesday this week with some Couta and snoek around. Most of the couta action is from Warner beach up to Zinkwazi in the North. One lucky fellow got himself a croc today up North but thats the only one I have heard of this week
Garrick are starting to come through and Snoek are around with some even being caught off South pier. Brusher have made an appearance and there are Daga salmon off the deeper marks already.
The Great whites have also started to make an appearance with two large specimens between 3.5m an 5m being sited on Aliwal shoal this week where the viz was pretty decent to say the least! The Humpback whales are starting to move up the lower south coast as well which points towards some decent sard action coming soon to a South coast beach or two!
Sea temps are around 22deg C on the south and 23/24 deg C on the north and we need that south temp to drop a bit for some proper action to around 19 deg C!
Conditions today (Friday) are awesome with flat seas and viz around. Tomorrow we have a SW coming through with swell predicted to around the 3m mark but Sunday looks good with the swell dropping below the 2m mark and a high tide just after 9am.
Coming up on the 1st of July we have the Natal champs shore diving compo at R300 a head which gets you entry, boerie roll, drink and a Tshirt. There will be some great prizes from Rob Allen as well! I have attached the entry form so get to it and test yourself against KZN best!
