Notes
Strong dark outflow from lagoon along wide channel out around mouth & to east. Rough sea sending waves high up on beach resulting in strong longshore drift which continues to scour sand from beach area around mouth which is now lower. Both ends of channel are very wide - most of previous sand projection into the lagoon has been removed but an area remains further to the east. Despite heavy rainfall the flats downstream G4 are draining but extensive flooding occurs upstream to G6. No water over roads or tracks apart from low track which has water only in very low areas
