Durban up to Ballito

Forecast Overview

Image

(Chris, 11pm Wednesday 1 September 2010)

Wednesday SW winds in the morning clean it up a bit and there are fun 2' peaks around. It may get bumpy later as a straight S blows. Thursday wind is still S, and swell 2-3', so there should be some form of wave, albeit a bit sideways. Friday looks to be good as SW comes through and there is a solid 3-4' from the E. Should be good all day. Saturday it's over though, and the NE comes through to blast the dying swell. Sunday small and NE all day.
