Notes
Atmospheric pressure 1024.1 hPa, Rainfall in last 48 hrs 2 mm. Note very strong winds over the previous week. The height and width of the dune between ocean and river has increased in height and width, with vegetation starting to colonize the dune opposite the fishing platform photosite. Although there was no tidal influence at the time of monitoring, the overnight high tide (1.5m) had pushed the level of the river higher, to leave wet stained sand along river bank.
