Dark discharge mainly around mouth, paler going east along foreshore.SW swell 14-13 sec impacting most of the beach except for around the mouth which is receiving the resulting longshore drift crossing & producing small waves down channel where sand being carried in outflow is visible. Beach has many wide deep north/south depressions caused by wave impact & backwash
Very large area of sand extending north into lagoon but sand bar is not visible
Extremely large number of Bluebottles in swash line all along beach
