Notes
No berm measurement taken. Mouth appeared open, with water flowing out to sea over the sand. No channel to speak of, and some over-topping inwards with bigger waves.
Have included a photo of some beach goers attempting to dig a channel out to sea. They appeared to give up on the task after awhile.
