High Tide in Hervey Bay
The forecast this morning for Hervey Bay included a high tide of 4.29 metres that was set to peak at Urangan Pier 0929hrs … and it was indeed a very high tide that attracted a lot of onlookers .
This is the view from the access gate at Shelly Bay right at 9.29am
An hour later at Toogoom the water was receding but you can see from the pile of leaves that it had reached the top of the boat ramp.
At its highest the water level must have got fairly close to the top of the rock wall to the north of the boat ramp too.
The water level was well up along the Burrum Heads Road and the road into Toogoom as well.
90 minutes after high tide there still wasn’t much of the beach visible down at Dundowran Beach either.
