#8461	19 Aug 2013	Approved	Notes: High sea entering & very strong outflow completely across entrance, waves in all directions in channel then turning east into estuary where they impacting on south & south east sides where much damage has occurred from recent even higher sea & tides Dunes east side of channel & south side of estuary greatly reduced Waves up to dunes on ocean beach which is covered with foam Water very deep over low track & up to car park No water over roads but some run off from heavy rain is running in 2 channels cut across the OOR previously but levels at G4 are lower than at17/08/13 Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_4 Gp1_5
#8467	24 Aug 2013	Approved	Notes: Strong dark outflow well out to sea Mouth very wide with waves in all directions (some small ones entering down left side of channel) Longshore drift very active Waves up to base of dunes with sheer sand cliffs cut Ocean beach covered with foam & east end covered by dark silt & debris Severe erosion in areas along low track & debris piled up to 1m.high in places Recent high seas have further reduced sand dunes east of channel & south side of estuary Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_4 Gp1_5
#8469	30 Aug 2013	Approved	Notes: Mouth wide, strong flowing dark discharge around entrance, out to sea & to east. Waves in all directions, longshore drift active ( but many changes in direction in the estuary) East end of beach is wider with increased height Flood waters reducing, water no longer over bridge deck at G4 Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_4 Gp1_5
#8475	6 Sep 2013	Approved	Notes: Dark discharge only out around mouth. Water very reddish brown in colour Flow reducing & sand building up from very rough seas around mouth & along channel Waves in all directions, including in channel.

#8490	13 Sep 2013	Approved	Notes: Out flow reducing, dark discharge only around mouth & slightly to east Ocean beach is horseshoe shaped with sand higher & wider at east end, sand cliff at base of dunes remains about mid beach (about 2.5-3m high) Sand bar well exposed in estuary (low tide) Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_4 Gp1_5
#8504	22 Sep 2013	Approved	Notes: Strong outflow from recent rainfall, dark discharge around mouth, out to sea, to west and to east Waves in all directions at the mouth, strong longshore drift Side of channel near mouth has 1m. high sheer side on east many broken shells in previously high wave impacted area east side of estuary(low Track) Stick caddis (5) south east side of estuary Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_5 Gp4
#8508	27 Sep 2013	Pending	Notes: Dark discharge out around mouth & to the east Gale force winds & very rough seas (26/09/13) have severely impacted the sand dunes all along the ocean beach- high sheer face to dunes (from 2.5m to 4m. high) East end of ocean beach 'carved out' & still covered with silt & foam Large waves have entered the estuary causing more damage to low track (unusually very soft sand in area) Large area of exposed sand south side of estuary & sand dunes further reduced Peregrine falcon in estuary Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_4 Gp1_5
#8513	3 Oct 2013	Approved	Notes: Strong dark out flow despite rough seas High seas & wind gusts to 10 on 02/10/13 resulting to considerable damage to dunes both near ocean & in estuary. Low track covered with debris & seaweed Mouth very wide, waves up to base of dune have created a sheer face over 2m high. This continues to east where it is even higher dark shearwater Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_4 Gp1_5
#8526	11 Oct 2013	Approved	Notes: Dark reducing discharge around mouth & to east & west Waves entering channel & estuary Damage to dunes on ocean beach continues, vegetation being swept around into estuary where damage to low track has increased 2 dead black Shearwaters along ocean beach Gp1_1 Gp1_2 Gp1_3 Gp1_4 Gp1_5
