#16157 | 5 May 2024 | Approved |
Notes:
This is our first time using the new photopoint next to the steps to the beach due to the bridge construction. There is a lot of water in the estuary and its very high upstream of the bridge. The high water level is due to tidal influence in previous days. |

The photo point site was from the beach access - our usual site was unavailable, enclosed by security fences for the new bridge installation works. |

Notes:
Gauge on river is above the water level. i.e.high and dry. See photo. The river channel has been changing dramatically in the past week, see photo. Upstream of the bridge the riverbank and beach are muddy and vegetation has been transported downstream. |

Notes:
Lots of sand movement in the past few weeks. Sand deposited upstream of bridge, see photos attached. Also the river channel has been eroding the beach on the west side adjacent to the Great Ocean Road. In the past few weeks there have been some steep sand banks however these have eroded down. Estuary Watch coincided with high tide. |

Notes:
No wind when we were recording the data hence cannot state a wind direction. The estuary has a very large pool of water upstream and downstream of the bridge. The river has carved a bank into the beach in front of the store. Mack Cheney attended today. |

Notes:
The Wye River was very wide and we experienced difficulty in reading the gauge. Access was problematic. The level was halfway up the gauge ( we dropped a stick to check and test the level) but it was difficult to decipher the reading, even on the attached photo. The Beaufort Wind strength No was 0, and Calm. |

Amazing sea fog this morning, can see some of it in photo 3. Warning sign about e coli had been turned over. Maybe due to low levels reported in October and November. |
