Notes
Reduced dark discharge out alongside foreshore extending far to the east. High seas earlier this week have created a high beach area at mid beach & increased sand build up at entrance. The east end of the beach has been scoured out & is lower than previously. Waves from rough sea are impacting on beach creating strong longshore drift that goes over the outflow creating small waves that travel up channel into lagoon
Flood water is draining but levels remain high upstream G4
Dead Shearwater on beach near entrance
