Rain past 48 hrs = 0 mm;  Atm Press = 1024 hPa.

Holiday makers enjoying perfect weather.

Rain past 48 hrs = 0.4 mm; Atm Press. = 1018.2 hPa

Solid berm across mouth, which has been closed for 10 days. 

River has flooded above its banks.

Recent rain in watershed today raised river height 3 cm from 12:15 to 15:00 hrs.

No rain during past 48 hrs; Atmos pressure = 1014 hPa. 

At mouth, river has cut through sand berm deposits.

0 mm rain during past 48 hrs; Atm press = 1010.1 hPa

River mouth characterized by meandering channel; rocks exposed where river enters ocean. 

Rainfall past 48 hrs = 0;  Atmospheric pressure = 1007.5 hPA.

Wide build-up of sand at mouth narrows mouth and river passage. 

Observed decrease in water level between 14:00 & 17:15 is more likely due to drawdown of river after the mouth opening in the prior 24 hrs, rather than to tidal influence. No upstream influence was observed at high tide. 

Vegetation growth over the years on the bank below the BmP3 observation point is starting to obscure vision of the estuary on the inland side. (e.g., compare image BmP3-3 with past images from the same data point taken in Dec 2012.)

Rain past 48 hrs = 0 mm;  Atm press = 1022 hPa

Narrow opening at mouth, with large exposed expanse of sand, even at high tide.  Rocks well-exposed on NE side of mouth. 

Rainfall last 48 hours 0.0mm,  Air Pressure 1023.6 hPa

Rainfall past 48 hrs = 0.2 mm; Atmos pressure = 997.7 hPa.

River mouth wide and relatively deep. 

Water level at gauge showed periodic fluctuations (within a range of 0.06 m), due to the surge and ebb of surf at the river mouth.

Rainfall past 48 hrs = 10.8 mm

Atm pressure = 1017.8 hPa

Due to recent rains there is downriver flow, but this is opposed by the high tide, resulting in small net change of river height at the estuary during the time we were monitoring. 

Rain past 48 hrs = 0; Atm pressure = 1014.6 hPa
