Description	A large swell with a NW wind reshaped the Barham river mouth. The berm west of the river mouth had been severely eroded by the river flood on the 11/08/2010 and the river mouth became 50 metres wide. This large swell event further eroded the existing berm to a very small size but also drove sand well up inside the river mouth. At 12.20 the harbour high tide was 0.96 mAHD. At 12.25 the estuary was at 1.22 mAHD.
