Notes
Reducing wave height & light wind have affected waves reaching estuary
Main impact from SW swell is at east end of beach, travelling hi up on sand & continuing to scour out previously covered rocks. Large amount of sand in backwash. Actual beach face at rocks is steep but further west high & rounded. Area about 50m from west cliff is highest part of beach - east end now much lower.
Beach littered with large no. squid carapaces
Only small amount of water at edge of south side of OOR & puddles a bit larger at SW end of camp ground
