In April 2020, a new mouth was established at Wreck Creek. Traditionally when flows in the creek increased over late winter / spring, water would flow out of the sand berm into the ocean at the most easterly extent of the creek. In April large ocean swells removed a large section of coastal vegetation and separated the creek into two (i.e. an east and west tributary). Recent high creek flows have been flowing out to the ocean through this section of the creek ever since this event.
