Notes
AHD G6 0.99 @ 07:40 (both sites are very close G2 1.01 @ 08:00)
High berm next to ocean - waves from rough sea coming up close to top but sand slopes down quickly to rocks where about 30-40 cm. of tallest one is still exposed above the sand
Sand is very high at east end of beach, numerous lower areas occur along the beach front till about 40-50 m. from the west cliff where it is much lower with waves going further up towards the dunes. The sand then rises much higher from there to the cliff face
Water levels in estuary are higher with some parts of low track impassable -no water over any other tracks or roads. Water is entering drain upstream of G4
