Notes
Strong dark discharge through narrow channel cascading down to lower level through rocks & out over a wide shallow area around entrance travelling to east after a recent release after last hi tide.(High seas & gale force winds on 03-12-18 caused a high sand build up that closed the mouth). Tide mark on beach indicated extent of last hi tide. Sheer 10-50 cm sides to channel gradually collapsing into fast out flow. Waves from SW swell impacting mid beach & E end. Slight longshore drift across entrance.
