Notes
Large berm (~24 m)
Expect that previous high tide (09:40) and lack of strong winds managed to breach the berm.
Probe meter cut out. Could not start until probe moved? Perhaps a short circuit at probe?
Creek not flowing. Lack of stratification caused by very strong winds forcing sea to flow up the creek. Explains the "increase" in DO at Augusta Street.
