Notes
At 14.30 waves were washing almost up to the top of the berm. At 16.50 (high tide) there was similar situation but in between those times water had been flowing over the berm (a visitor's observations) and we noted a rise in the estuary AHD at the bridge - ?inflow of seawater or a fast inflow of freshwater from the catchment.
PS AHD at bridge was 1.82 at 12.45 next day - the berm was still closed.
