Berm was opened from near midway across the estuary front where waves had entered during previous high tides. Waves were going high up on the beach at that time.
The excavation channel went straight over part of first completely submerged rock with the excavated sand being placed all along the west bank - apart from a very small area placed on the east, directly at swash line.
Camp ground flooded & water at sides of OCR. GOR had water 1/2 way across & OOR water up to about .25m at flood markers near blocked culverts
