Notes
AHD G6 1.64 & 08:30
Some flow out but difficult to access Gp1 site because of near gale force gusty wind from NW. Wind coming in all directions depending on location - but mainly across lagoon to SE cr. Very strong down channel driving large amount of sand into sea. Very high & low tides during 18-10-19 with SW/WSW swell of between 12-13 secs. duration impacting mainly @ east end of beach creating longshore drift to mouth where backwash was rolling sand all along the edge of the channel
