St. Lucia Estuary Water Levels
Fishing Conditions.
After 175 days of fresh life giving ocean water washing into the system marine life has been replenished in the St. Lucia Estuary. Fishing is generally good from vessels all round up to the Narrows.
Access with boats on the estuary during low water level conditions that where experienced before 09 March 2007 was the main obstacle for anglers. Currently the water levels are high and the estuary is fairly accessible for boats.
Launch permits must be obtained from KZN Wildlife and there is a few new inland water laws to adhere to. Contact your closest boating club for more information. It is less troublesome to belong to an accredited boat club.
The St. Lucia Estuary mouth closed naturally during a strong South Easterly spell in August. Good inland rainfall has stabilized the water levels but much more rain is needed in the catchments of the St. Lucia system for the Estuary and ocean to breach naturally again.
