| Description |
Merriman Creek Estuary is a wave dominated estuary. Due to its location in a rain shadow it does not receive regular inundations but is known to close. Anecdotal evidence suggests concerned residents will open the estuary themselves if they see fit. A popular site for fishermen, surfers and kayakers alike.
