As a seasoned water user I would recommend taking a sea sickness tablet and having some food in your stomach before you board the fishing boat first thing in the morning. I targeted the fishing date as the forecast was calm, 30miles + offshore the seas can be bumpy and you can get queezy regardless of how tough you feel before hand, just a little mitigation to avoid spoiling such a magical experience.

Find a great captain who has lived and worked here for a long time. Local knowledge really matters.

Contact previously the captain. He will know if the weather is ok or not for your fishing. Some days in Capetown the wind is really strong, and the waves should be a problem. Cpt Peter called me 3 days in advance to suggest to change the date due the wind forecast. I did and don't regret.

Keep your dates flexible, allow a few days because the weather is less guaranteed in November. We had to wait for a calmer day to get out, so we allowed time and stayed flexible.

Let the captain cost the day to go out as the fishing can change on a daily basis. They know the waters so trust them :-)
