READING THE SEA…

Is it worth a session at Durban?

At 1.3 m it's funfun, rideable waves for most surfers. The swell period is on the shorter side, so expect choppier, weaker surf than the height alone might imply. This is the open-sea figure — the wave that actually breaks at a given peak depends on the spot's shape and the state of the tide, so treat it as a steer, not a promise. The water is 22.9°C — mild.
