Well there was no diving today, but the surf was going off. Sunrise Point was ballistic and best of all I had it all to myself. It would have been cool to have a mate enjoy it with me but 10 others would have killed it!
The Quiksliver Goodwave was held yesterday and Shane Thorne pipped Dan Redman in the last few seconds to take the glory ... better luck next time Dan.
I am off to Mozambique tomorrow .... I know somer one has to do it ....it is hard ..sob
So I wont be around for the Salty Divers Club Meet next friday so we will have it the following Friday ...
Anyway I am sure I will have lots to report when I get back.

Surfs Up - Quicksilver Good Wave
Hey guys,
The swell is pumping a solid 6-8 ft swell, its a little all over the place and more east than I thought.
This is not going to help as it needs to be more south for our points to handle the swell. So we are probably going to have to sit this one out :-( bummer!
However the surf is pumping in Durban Newpier and the Quicksilver Good Wave is on!! Flip if I had the time I would head out there and check it out .... but work always seems to come first.

Spearo whats up?
After reporting a rather quiet week ends spearfishing, I got 2 reports of fish being hammered. One mate got 5 cuta all over 10kg, strange thing was that he was the only one who saw fish!!! He must have done something right??
Another mate got 8 snoek ....and again his mates diving along the same stretch of coast saw squat!
The sea is still big and the wind she is blowing!! But you can already see good banks forming on the points!! Yippy!

Spearfishing Update
Hey guys,
Nothing too exciting to report on from this weekend. there was some diving and surfing on Saterday, but other than that .... no bells or whistles.
Sunday was blown out and it is still pumping South West now! The rain will no doubt have an effect on the vis and I see there is some swell around. The forecast says that the wind will only stop tomorrow late so with a bit of luck Wednesday will be surfable, only problem is the high tide first thing in the morning.
I am not to stressed about the dive ... as I am off to Tofu for a 10 days :-) yippy!!
Having fun trying to track down some good gps marks ... so if you have any ....you do know "sharing is caring"
All fun Coatesman
