Notes

Berm height above estuary can not be determined as a clear line of sight with the horizon can not be obtained at the edge of estuarine water (trees in way).

The sand berm height was measured in Feb 2017, with the height of the point in the estuary waters flow path being 2.10m AHD. This height is likely to have changed since Feb, though it would be safe to say that the berm is 50cm above the estuary water level at present.
