Observations taken @ low tide. Mouth closed but a few waves entering up to estuary -mostly a large expanse of sand between ocean & estuary. SW swell impacting beach - strong backwash @ mid beach carrying large amount of sand then longshore drift to west to cliff. Yesterday's high seas have lowered about 1/3rd of beach east of cliff
Wind in many directions -SE along beach but turning S with much stronger gusts down channel blowing a lot of sand into estuary
Increased water at side of roads & camp ground but water only just coming over OOR at flood markers. Small pool at side of GOR
