Why was it closed?
We have the same problem here with sandvlei at muizenberg. Its closed most of the time, then opened when the complaints get too much

Why was it closed?

Insufficient fresh water flowing into tbe system causes the mouth to close

Did the recent rains have any effect on St. Lucia and surrounds?
