AHD G2 0.56 @ 09:50     G6  0.98 @ 09:40

SE Wind bringing waves to G2 making flow estimate very difficult

After a short duration closure the mouth opened naturally on 06-12-18,             40C. heat on 07-12-18.

Low water level in estuary with sand bar partially exposed & drying algae draped over veg. at E side of estuary. Waves entering shallow over wide area / dense sea mist & air temp about 18C.

AHD G6 over AHD board  @  07:48      G2 0.65  @ 09:35

Turbidity G6  34 NTUs pH 6.8

Very cold North wind 5

Monitoring difficult because of  very fast flow. Probe attached to rope with 4 weights. The use of weights raised the height of the probe above 10 cm  from the bottom both at G2 & Lt1

The turbidity water sampler was possibly dragged about 5m.downstream in the  very fast flow so bottom readings may not be accurate

AHD 0.95 @ 09:23  ( G2 was 1.36 @ 15:00 on 20-07-18)                                   G6  3.03 @ 08:47

Strong tidal influence over night

Bottom turbidity sample contained many small particles

Flats have drained downstream of G4 but not upstream where deep water cover exists across the flood plain
