Easter weekend in Durban looked the goods. Chocolate brown water unravelled its way past the piers as a small group of surfers speed checked their way north.
Some v nice easter chocolate goodies
( doppelganging the unlimited ‘free flowing’ video remnants of the random surf clips thread )
The yardfish and perfect safi vid are on par too bru…
Church of the open sky ocean devotion ;)

Nice Waves
Whats the water temp - Some guys in Steamers, some in Boardies ?
Island BayWednesday, 7 May 2025 at 5:38pm
Low to mid 20s - prob more mid. You'd be gasping in a steamer.
And incredible waves.

An AI Plini soundtrack?
The real sounds from Oz ...

That water looks bloody pristine to me after what we've experienced here lately.

Having surfed that stretch, it’s incredible a sand bottom wave holds up like that, long straight beach interspersed by various piers.
Not a ski in sight, take note Kirra surfers.
Such small numbers in the water, surfing definitely for the ‘haves’ not ‘have nots’ over there

Probably nuts, with uncle Rudy P out there on a big board.

So many salt of the earth people in SA. Stoic and resourceful.

Can we arrange to install some of those piers on the east coast here?!
ChipperThursday, 8 May 2025 at 12:07pm
Looks like an incredible bank.
Couple of questions.
What's the water temp at this time of year?
Is the beach netted?

Having spent a year living on that stretch of coast recently, can easily say it's one of the best surf cities (if you can even call the state of Durban a 'city' any more). Waves are super consistent and ripabale, water is always warm, small crowds and locals are very friendly and unpretentious. Only bummer is the occasional spike in ecoli. If the country got it's act together, I'd be back there in a heartbeat. Alas...

Yes. Agree with all of the above.
