Notes
Mouth remains closed & berm has increased in size with more sand over rocks. Water level in estuary higher with water over all of low track & small amount in lowest part of top track. No water over other roads, camp ground or tracks apart from water at side of OOR at flood markers where an extremely large number of small fish (1-4 cm) are very active
Estuary has now extended completely across from cliff to sand dunes at northern end of channel
Unusual westerly swell impacting east end of beach to around mid beach where waves are going further up - the backwash continues to scour out narrow depressions at mid beach with large amount of sand in breakers. Closer to east small sand cliffs have formed at beach face
