Notes:
Mouth closed on July 15 after several days of N to NW winds up to 45 kmh. Winds lasted 4-5 days and built the berm to a height that caused estuarine flooding not seen this year. |

Notes:
Strong westerlies during the month have built sand levels to unusually wide levels. At nearly 40 m from estuary water edge to bay water edge the width of the berm exceeds most other measurements in recent times. In the middle of the month a strong westerly/high tide occurrence saw sea water wash over the berm. Combined with one day of significant rainfall this caused estuary water levels to rise and cause flooding. |

Notes:
Large berm (~24 m) Expect that previous high tide (09:40) and lack of strong winds managed to breach the berm. Probe meter cut out. Could not start until probe moved? Perhaps a short circuit at probe? Creek not flowing. Lack of stratification caused by very strong winds forcing sea to flow up the creek. Explains the "increase" in DO at Augusta Street.
