Notes
Observations made @ Low tide
River perched-some waves going up into river with return to ocean. Waves occasionally overtopping all along beachfront. Previous very rough seas have over topped beach front & travelled down wide shallow depression behind entering river channel on both sides of rocks - action of backwash to ocean has reduced height of beach front near mouth & created a very low gradual rise up to the start of the river
