Anyone know if it's changed much down there now that there is water in the river? Is there much water flowing out yet? Have the dredges moved out? I'm assuming the mouth proper is no longer a particularly safe plae to kite?
Every time I have been there, in the past couple of years, there has been a massive sandbar just meters from the beach, so not sure what is was like years ago, but does not seem much more water recently. Would have been strange seeing the mouth nearly closed over years ago, but since I have been there it has been deep.
The water does rip through the mouth, and is quite deep, so not a good spot to lose your board as it would cruise out of the mouth into the ocean pretty quickly. You would want to know what you are doing kiting at the opening, but there is plenty of water to kite in near the beach and as you head towards Goolwa.
The dredge is gone, which is good, as it got in the way.
It's just very murky, thats the only fault with it I reckon.
