Mouth opened after 20mm+ rain on Saturday. Riverr level has fallen by at least 0.5m

Flow minimal by picnic car park (BMP-1)

Nice rapid flow across beach at cut-through

Mouth only open due to someone having dug a small outlet

River v high - over banks in campground near bridge, and up to the steps down from trafalgar St/Gambier St corner

At sea edle, there is shallow water spread across a wise area from the dune spit almost to golf course bank

Wind over last 2 weeks from calm to strong, mostly easterly. Seas correspondingly from flat calm to very rough (small waves inside Apollo bay harbour)

Berm measurements are approx. as I was on my own so difficult to measure heights. The river at the berm was more of a shallow spread across a wide area of beach - depth approx. at centre, but the water is gradually spreading out with the sand spit likely to get covered.

River back from mouth getting very full with BMP2 fishing platform flooded and with some overflow onto banks in campground - pictures taken at various places to demonstrate.

River mouth has been closed for at least a week.

Again, very variables conditions over past 2 weeks so impossible to complete mode.

Shows Georgie Custance the water level markers - she will see about getting the bushes at  lower marker cleared to allow access

Sorry for lack of tide data - Christams chaos got in the way!

Mode conditions - very variable, unable to provide mode

Wind and se condition very variable over previous 2 weeks

Unable to measure water level owing to lower guage being in bushes

Wind direction has been very variable over last 2 weeks

Unable to access water level markers due to trees

Wind direction, stength and sea state very variable over previous 2 weeks

Unable to measure water level due to obstructed access to lower height marker

Sea state very variable over previous 2 weeks from flat calm to Rough

Cannot measure water level due to lower gauge beng obscured by bushes

River mouth was closed until previous day. River level quite high and overflowng banks prior to this.

Lower water level marker is still completely obscured by overgrown bushes. Level we;ll below the bottom of higher marker (< 2m) though quite high and over banks in campground.

Wind and sea state very variable over last 2 weeks - easterlies predominant varying from still to quite strong winds. Sea state from flat calm to very rough.

Observed someone digging small channel to open berm (but they gave up before completing this). Following day, 22nd March, the river mouth had burst through the berm and was fully open agin.

Wind mode last 2 weeks - very variable in both direction and strength from strong eaterly to calm sw

Water level below all measurement markers

Apologies about no tidal data - forgot to complete on day and can't locate retrospectively from weather/tide apps

Water level below height markers

Good to see that access to water level marker has been cleared - thank you

Water level was well below the bottom of the marker today

Sea state has been very variable over last 2 weeks

Unable to measure water levels due to overgrown tress on riverbank.

We will be away for next watch but will do an assessment around 21 October when we are back

Unable to access water level markers due to overgrown tree

Unable to complete Mode for physical condition - very variable over last 2 weeks from completely still and calm to some days of very strong winds

At Bmp2 the platform was under water. Mode for wind and sea state was not assessed as conditions have been highly variable over the last 2 weeks.

This was a training session.One wide angle 16:9 Bmp3 photo taken to replace two 4:3 images

Water level assessment reading river height gauges could not be completed because of over-growing vegetation.

Rain last 48 hrs = 0 mm; Atmos. pressure = 1011 hPa.

Rained continuously during monitoring period!

Heavy wind and wave surges pushed water across the berm opposite the BmP2 observation site. These inflows temporarily raised the estuary water level by up to 2 cm.  

Rain past 48 hrs = 1.4 mm; Atm. Press. = 1012 hPa

Mouth opening continues to shift south.
