Description

At 03:30hrs on 28/1/20 during a high spring tide waves overtopped the Berm at the river mouth and introduced a significant amount of seawater into the river.  Although the flow was intermittent at the beach, further down the river a strong continuous inflow was observed.  I have film of this.  Note that the river level was 1.34m AHD and the berm was measured at 10am on 28/1/20 at .85m above the river level.  This means that waves strongly overtopped a berm height of 1.34 + .85 = 2.19m AHD.
