Description | An extreme high tide peaked at 14.40 and measured 1.64m AHD in the harbour. The barometer was 1001.9 at 09.00. Near Gale West winds and rough seas meant large swells were entering the Barham river mouth. There had been overnight rain but the amount of sediment in the river was light. The estuary staff read 1.60m at 14.25 and 1.80m at 15.15. A very high water level in the estuary principally caused by an extreme tide. |
