Observation details

Overview

Estuary Painkalac Creek Estuary
Site Great Ocean Road Bridge at Aireys Inlet
Observation ID #14211
Date and Time Friday 18th September 2020 10:35am
Approved Pending

Notes

struggled to lock a reading for 2.50m, it was bouncing around about here however.

Minimum berm height was between 0.8m - 0.9m (Est 0.82m). unless the swell manages to remove sand (doubtful) from the berm it's likely it won't naturally open before it reaches impact flooding levels
