Notes
AHD G2 1.69 @ 13:17 G6 1.67 @ 13:05
Strong outflow down channel with pale discharge visible slightly to east.
Rough sea = SW swell impacting E end of beach, large amount of backwash occurring at mid beach & longshore drift across entrance over outflow, small waves are going up channel into the estuary. Small areas of east side of channel are sheer sided ( above lower exposed area). These sides are currently sliding down into water as wave action in channel increases. Channel sides about .10 - .20 m.high & about .20m deep. About 8m wide
Wind much stronger gusts from south down channel
Water at side of GOR & OCR but across OOR at flood markers. Only at side of OOR closer to GOR
