Ballito Bay to north of Zwinkazi
Weekend 8 September 2018
A stiff NE to N howling beasterly cross onshore hammers Friday and a messy 1-4' windswell sea is the best you'll see. Scattered showers. Saturday fresh N winds blow down towards an upcoming buster. It rains quite hard. In arvi, the winds ease away tho not really helping a wishy washy 2-5' onshore sea, and then a strong S buster smacks thro into the evening, pumping all night and howling Sunday ripping galeforce and pomping gusts to 40kts and there's a fair bit of carnage as a solid 10ft windswell builds upon open shores. Partly cloudy with showers. Cooler. Monday the buster still busting, but easing, while the swell has eased back to perhaps 6-8' or bigger open coast. Partly cloudy and cool to warm with showers. Tuesday calm day with variable breezes, tho strong NE onshore in south by debben. A mild onshore worsens in arvi. There might be a bit of 4' SE swell about. Sunny and warm. Spring is back.
