Ballito Bay to north of Zwinkazi
Tuesday 17 April 2018
Fair clean peaks in smooth start Tuesday with open coast long range 3-4' swell feasible, tho small at protected spots. The onshore will blow tho, and picks up early in the south, but already wobbly in the north by brekkie time. Partly cloudy and warm to hot. Wednesday more solid S swell pulses @ 17 second periods, and there 4-5' sets along open coast. Howerver, moderate to fresh N winds are due. Rare south facing spots will be kiff. Partly cloudy and hot. Thursday a fresh devillish N to NW wind is the precursor to a southerly buster that heads your way from the south, but not before a window of okay west winds late morning or noon ish with 2-4' surf open coast. Arvi and evening caned by honking S buster. Cloudy with lots of rain. Friday lots of S swell 2-5' options open coast but fresh to strong leftover buster is now SSE and it goes moderate SE to E. Partly cloudy with showers. Saturday morning sick yech in wake of onshore followed by stiff southerly again. More ambient swell looks to go to waste. Partly cloudy and warm.
