Notes
AHD G6 estimated to be about 0.69 @ 09:03 (board still covered with silt)
Only very slight pale discharge out around mouth flowing across an area of high sand build up both at entrance & along channel. Flow is restricted to 2 narrow channels through rocks.
Sand is high at east end & mid beach up to about 50m. from entrance where it drops down gradually. The higher mid beach area projects out to sea. The 2 separate bays recently formed remain.
WSW/sw swell impacting beach causing strong backwash & longshore drift at entrance, also some waves from swell curving around at entrance. Last high tide travelled high up on beach continuing into estuary
