Notes:
I have included photos of the sand drifts which resulted from strong winds on 7/4/17. There was significant rainfall at the same time (>80mls recorded locally) yet surprisingly there was no noticeable discoloration of the water in the estuary in the following days. |

Notes:
Estuary very turbid and brown from recent heavy rain. Discoloured plume of water extends East along Ocean Grove beach. Significant smell of river algae in air at mouth. Large amount of sand has moved from under/around the "Heads" restaurant. At low tide all pylons used to be out of the water now only half of them are.

| #9978 | 25 Nov 2015 | Approved |
Notes:
1)Sand mounding up between bridges and blowing over road. 2) Tide heights are estimates as gauge board was fully out of water. |

|
|
| #9926 | 30 Oct 2015 | Approved |
Notes:
1) Tide heights are measured relating to AHD 2) Tide heights are estimates as gauge board scale does not extend below -0.2m |
|
| #9869 | 21 Sep 2015 | Approved | Notes: Tide height readings suggest the tide gauge board is not correctly calibrated - eg at the start time, one hour after low tide the tide height reading was more than 0.6 m below the published low tide height. | |
