Notes
Changed formation of beach: sand build-up reforming, but still a return channel before estuary. Very large increase of berm into estuary. Discharge to east along beach, some to the west. Some slight flow inwards along eastside (wave surge). Sand built up east of the entrance forcing channel closer to cliffs and rocks.
