  Swimmable sea all year

  1 Oca – 31 AraDeniz yeterince ılık

  The Agulhas current runs warm down this coast, so this is the one big South African city where people swim in July without a wetsuit. The netted beaches on the Golden Mile are patrolled year round.

  Sardine run

  25 May – 20 Tem · geneldeYaban hayatı sezonu

  Cold water pushes shoals of sardines up from the Eastern Cape with gannets, dolphins and sharks behind them, most reliably in the last two weeks of June. The KwaZulu-Natal leg has been patchy since the 2000s, so nobody sells it as a certainty. Kaynak ↗

  Humpback migration

  1 Haz – 30 KasBalina sezonu

  The continental shelf runs close in here, so the humpbacks heading north to calve pass within sight of the bluff from June, and come back south with the calves from September. No boat needed on a clear morning.

  Ninety kilometres between Durban and Pietermaritzburg, direction alternating each year, with about twenty thousand runners and the whole route lined. On an up year the start is in the city centre before dawn and roads shut with it. Kaynak ↗

  The Durban July

  4 TemSpor etkinliğiKalabalıkErken rezervasyon

  The country's biggest race day at Greyville on the first Saturday of July, and as much a fashion event as a horse race. Hotels take the whole week and rates roughly double around it. Kaynak ↗

  Summer storm and flood season

  1 Kas – 31 Mar · geneldeFırtına sezonu

  KwaZulu-Natal's rain comes as violent afternoon storms and, every few years, as the kind of flooding that takes out roads and closes the beaches to swimming for days on hygiene grounds. Kaynak ↗

  The single busiest month here: Gauteng empties onto this coast, the beachfront is shoulder to shoulder, and every apartment on the north and south coasts is let. Book by winter or take February instead. Kaynak ↗
