Dangerous Surf Conditions must be considered when swimming in open water🤔

Lateral Currents is one you should watch out for...

Lateral (also known as "littoral") currents flow parallel to the beach. They range in speed from fast-flowing to subtle movement. These currents pose little threat to the average swimmer, but weaker swimmers can be pulled into rip currents and heavy surf simply by the force of lateral currents.

The Durban Crossing was a long Surf Swim, done from Durban to Umhlanga on 16 June 2017. The mark of 16km up to 20km was reached by these three brave swimmers (Johann Terblanche, Greg Sassen and Owen Sheftz). With perfect ocean conditions balanced with the challenge of great distance. Thanks to the supporting crew all was achieved safely and it was a success.

How about next year you join in !!!
