KZN Far North Coast

Wavescape Ocean Watch (WOW)

(Spike, Friday 10 February 2012)

Far North looks manky mushy NE going worse Friday 2-3' east swell slentering thro but damaged goods. Saturday looks not nice with fresh N to NNW ... a stiff devils wind actually, and a lot of weak 1-3' east swell running on outer reefs at best. Deep banks on the dawnie don't inspire that option either. Winds go strong SE. Sunday the buster is blowing but it has an ugly SE tinge to it. Miffery. Monday some swell arrives from distant storms 2-3' but the wind is till miffing SE. Tuesday NE onshore lighter, surf 2'. Not the best report you get.
