Water levels well below gauge level. 

Berm height and water levels could not be determined but it looks like that berm height has increased and water level has decreased since last observation

Estuary very shallow and filled in with sand. Berm has built up quite a bit in the previous entrance. Did not measure berm at new entrance.

Water levels in the eastern branch reached 2.4mAHD over the weekend due to storm surge and have since dropped to approximately 1.85mAHD. Western Branch has eroded all the way back to the culvert that runs under Cape Paterson-Inverloch Rd and is closed as the culvert has filled up with sand.

New entrance has opened up in the Western Branch west of its original opening. Not much remaining of sand dunes protecting the West Branch. Water levels have reached the gauge board for the first time in a long time.

Eastern Branch looks as full as it has been in quite a while but still well below water level gauge (1.8m).

Following storms on Feb 15 there was a fish kill (approx. 70 fish). Fish have mosly been eaten/decomposed.
