Notes
Very shallow outflow out over increased sand build up at entrance & along channel. Very rough sea with occasional very high waves creating back wash & strong longshore drift which meets incoming SW swell & slight outflow = some small waves entering along east side of channel. Beach front very high at east end of beach but over topping waves have made a very large pool in the wide lower area between it & the dunes, this wide area extends west towards entrance.
Bittern was sighted near flood markers on Old Ocean Road on 19-01-20 (Mark Cuthell)
