Durban

Forecast Overview

Image

(Chris, 12h43 Wednesday 10 March 2010)

Wednesday is 3-4' with light winds coming from the NE, but don't ignore the possibility of an offshore early. Thursday morning looks great with the SW through and 3-5' of swell. Onshore up light later. Friday is also good early with a light W first, before the E comes up light, and there's enough swell to be fun with 3-4' around. Saturday the spree of surf continues with SW winds and 3-4' of swell. Onshore may come up later. Sunday winds are S going SE and the swell is still 3-4'. Not ideal but surfable.

Ouch! I tore a hole in my shoulder and shirt crawling under the fence to get onto the pier...

Beware. Stainless spikes on new pier. I put a hole in my foot - 4 stitches later. I warned you. And I wasn't the first.
