We have a minimum temperature of 14 and a maximum of 25 degrees forecast for Durban today. There is almost no wind this morning with very light NEs this afternoon. So it may be another awesome day of glassy seas and fun waves for local surfers, surfski paddlers and bodyboarders.

With 30m visibility reported at Protea Banks yesterday by African Dive Adventures, it looks like divers on the south coast are in luck and with clear skies its going to be perfect for general beachgoers too. Enjoy!
