Dark discharge out around mouth but becoming paler as it progresses south. Large amount of sand visible in breakers directly south of entrance
Waves, some very high, are going in all directions along beach & 1st half of channel where some small waves are entering against a strong outflow & travelling down the east side of the channel. Because of low tide exposing large areas of sand the waves are unable to turn east but continue for a very short distance north where they disappear only to re emerge further north spreading wide as the sand bar is reached. Edge of sand on south side of estuary is about .60m above water level
Last hi tide has gone high up on beach & where a gas bladder of a fish was found in the swash line at east end. (possibly from Spiny Puffer fish)
