KZN South Coast

Forecast Overview

Image

(Chris, 10.20am Monday 1 September 2010

Wednesday it's not looking good sadly, the S wind has destroyed any clean lines by mid morning and the surf is 2'. Thursday winds still look fresh S, maybe SW, so sideshore and broken up, although there is slightly more swell at 2-4'. Friday SW still blows and there could be a 2-3' wave in the evening, provided the onshore doesn't pick up. Saturday the NE pounds through with a fury that decimates all surf. Sunday NE still pounding away.
