Ballito Bay to north of Zwinkazi
Thursday 14 June 2018
As is so often the case, big N winds blow up north as air sucks down towards big low pressure activity in the south. Thursday blown out. No surf. Sunny and warm to hot. Friday the devils wind continues. In the deep south, it's glassy 1-2' at most along open coast. Could be flat. Up north, it's still stiff N, easing into the evening when it goes crisp landbreeze. Saturday rising swell as the Cape storms send gifts your way. Could be 3ft at dawn, increasing along open coast to 6-8' even, by evening. A big buster blows further down the coast. This side it arrives as fresh SSE winds. Partly cloudy and cool with showers. Sunday could just be firing at dawn in light landbreezes and a cooking 6ft+ SSW longrange south swell. You have to know where to go tho. Early worms tho. Beasterly east onshore due. Partly cloudy and warm. Monday pumping NW to N devils wind dig up a straight south 4' swell, easing into the day when it becomes clean. Could be fun. Sunny and warm. Tuesday fires down the coast.
