South Africa fishing forecast

Durban tide table for fishing, weather and fish activity

Use this public fishing tide calendar to compare tide times, wind, swell, rain, and fish activity signals before choosing a harbour, backline, mid deep, or deep trip. It is built for anglers searching for tides for fishing, fishing conditions today, good fishing times today, and a practical fishing forecast before they commit to a launch.

Fishing tide calendar

Check the selected day, high and low tide signals, and tide movement before choosing when to fish.

Best fishing times today

Use the score and best window as a quick planning signal, then confirm with local conditions.

Weather for fishing

Wind, gusts, swell, rain, and water temperature help you decide whether the day suits your comfort level.

Useful before you book

What the forecast can and cannot tell you

Harbour comfort

Wind and tide often matter more than open-water swell for sheltered harbour trips.

Sea exposure

Backline, mid deep, and deep trips feel swell and wind much sooner than protected water.

Launch decision

A clean score is not permission to launch. Your skipper and official guidance decide.

Weather and marine forecasts by Open-Meteo using national weather-provider models.

Marine sea-level and current data is modelled and is not suitable for navigation or official launch decisions.
