Overview

Notes

Continuing rough seas & strong west winds over past days (6.3-6.1 swell height) on 03-11-18) have created a small low berm which was observed formed across mouth around  06-11-18 pm.   The top of the middle rock was still uncovered. Waves had been over topping the berm at the last hi tide & entering the estuary - indicated by  sand & swash line. Beach undulating with some very low areas. Sand very high at east end where sheer sided areas occur at the top of a steep decent to ocean - beach slopes down towards start of berm & entrance. Waves have been up to base of dunes in some areas - indicated by swash line which contained large dense areas of small shells, tiny crabs, shrimp, extremely small Janthina-janthina & larger 'By the wind sailors'.

No water in camp ground or over any roads/tracks. Water up to the ocean car park along low track & up to the side of the recently raised OOR near flood markers (drains & sides of OOR are currently undergoing maintenance)

Flood water occurs on both west & east flats @ Kangaroobie, G4 (Rivernook) flats are under water with wide flow through dip in causeway. US G4 water in drains only up to between G5&G4 . Upstream from there to G5 water covers large areas on both sides of channel. Water just starting to enter upstream of Coxon's track (G5)
