Notes
AHD G6 0.72 estimate only as board covered with silt
Dense sea fog drifting down channel prevented observations from being taken from actual Gp1 site
Weak pale shallow out flow over increased sand build up in channel, especially around rocks & downstream across a wide area at mouth. The beach is highest at mid beach where a wide area projects out to sea dividing beach & creating 2 separate bays. Highest area is only 50m from where it slopes down entrance.
Swell & rough sea impacting on west side of projection creating longshore drift across the mouth, striking cliff & going over the top of rocks resulting in occasional small waves entering down channel
