Notes
Pale discharge out to east, shallow flow out over high sand build up both along channel & entrance - east side of channel just upstream of rocks sheer to 15 cm. above water level
Water level in estuary high (possibly because of inflow from recent high seas)
Waves reducing in height, sea moderate with occasional high set. Slight but constant long shore drift across mouth
Beach front not as high as previously, now sloping . Waves have been high up on beach
Red scum along sand south side of estuary
