This page contains water level and current observations from sensors located in the entrance channel at Lakes Entrance, Victoria. Location is approximately 150 metres NW of the entrance breakwater. Position: 37º 53.4’ S, 147º 58.4’ E (WGS84).

These data are automatically generated and are not quality controlled.

All times and dates are in Victorian local time.

Each 'observation' (or record) is obtained by sampling the water levels and currents 6 minutes.

This page is automatically updated every 6 minutes from available data.

Key
Measured Level	The measured water level at the sensor (metres) above Chart Datum.
Predicted Level	The predicted tidal water level at the sensor (metres) above Chart Datum.
Level Residual	The measured level minus the predicted tidal level (metres). This value is positive when the measured level is higher than the predicted level.
Measured Current Speed	The measured current speed (knots) near the current sensor. An Ebb flow denotes water moving towards the SE. A Flood flow denotes water moving towards the NW.
Predicted Current Speed	The predicted tidal current speed (knots) near the current sensor.
Current Residual	The measured current speed minus the predicted tidal current speed (knots). This value is positive when the measured speed is greater than the predicted tidal speed.
