On Monday 16th June at 08.00 the Barham river mouth is closed and the estuary water height is1.66m. The berm clearance at the river mouth was 0.10m with moderate sea conditions. By 17.15 on the 16th the river mouth was open and the estuary height had fallen to 1.60m. There had been no large rain events, plenty of sand around the river mouth and moderate seas with westerly wind. The result a late season river mouth closure. The closure was typical of this season of only lasting a few days and naturally opening at a level below that which can negatively effect land assets. |
