Rain past 48 hrs = 11.6 mm; rain past week > 20 mm.

Air press. = 1029.4 hPa.

Rain during past week has raised river level above normal. Strong outward flow at mouth.

Rainfall past 48 hrs = 2.6 mm; Atmos. press - 1022.2 hPa.

High tide 11:45

Very still atmosphere. A stretch of mechanically-dumped sand was observed, placed to consolidate the beach of Mounts Bay in the vicinity of Marengo.

The condition of the car park at the bridge opposite the campground is in poor condition. Added to previous debris-dumps from the campground, there now exists a large mulch pile to further restrict parking and public access.

Rainfall past 48 hrs = 4.2 mm; Atmos. pressure = 1024.5 hPa.

Rain overnight has raised river level. Completely still atmosphere, overcast, grey, & smokey due to ongoing forestry controlled burn at Gellibrand.

Rainfall past 48 hr = 1.4 mm; Atmos. Press = 1009.5 hPa.

Otherwise closed, the mouth opens at peak high tides with small waves moving over the sand bar for a short distance upstream. No outward flow observed. Estuary is wide and relatively high due to the mouth closure when tide is not at peak.

Rainfall last 48 hours 0 mm;  Atmospheric Pressure 1012.1hPa.  River level higher than expected.  Open mouth was wide and shallow.  There would be an exposed sand bar at low tide.  New vegetation growth 30 metres upstream of river mouth.  Large flocks of gulls and terns resting on berm edge upstream of river mouth.

Rain last 48 hrs = 0 mm; atmos press = 1018 hPa.

Moderate high tide and smooth ocean so little wave action at mouth; wide strand on beach.

Estuary mouth narrow and shallow.

Water stain along river bank suggests tidal influence during previous (midnight) higher tide.

Rain past 48 hrs = 6.8 mm; Atm press = 1007.9 hPa

Following overnight rain, river height was observed to drop slightly during monitoring period.

Sand bank at bridge fishing platform is well established and vegetated with grass

Rainfall past 48 hrs = 2.4 mm

Atmos pressure = 1024.1 hPa

Sand has accumulated and spread horizontally, widening the berm at the open river mouth.

Rainfall past 48 hrs = 27.6 mm; atmos pressure = 100.6.6 hPa.

Rainfall past 48 hrs < 2 mm.  

Air pressure = 1017.8 hPa.

Large flock of terns on berm south of estuary mouth.
