Oh boy did the swell come through yesterday.
The SAPPI bouy off Umkomaas yesterday recorded swell upto 10m! Loads of groundswell around and unfortunately it’s mucked up the inshore in most spots…meh!
Tomorrow morning (Saturday) the swell isn’t too bad but it’s low at twenty past eight in the morning and swell period is still over 10 seconds from the south at 2.2m. A moderate NE wind pick’s up later in the day mucking it up into the evening and it picks the swell upto 3m .
Sunday starts off with a moderate SW wind which calms towards the afternoon with 2,8m swell early bells dropping off into the afternoon.
Master Alistair Jones and the lads made the call and postponed the Natal champs for safety reasons which is a good call ! All it takes is a couple of big set’s to get you in trouble when swimming though the surf!
As to what’s coming out it seems like the bite has slowed down a bit with the Daga salmon and Geelbek off Durban but with the air pressure on the rise again today that could change tonight. Those big blue shad should be around as they start moving up the coast to breed off Zululand in September and October.
As Always Dive Safe and Straight Spears from the Bear.
