The Spoeg has a relatively small catchment area and probably only flows into the sea at times of extreme flooding. As the dune covered catchment readily absorbs the run-off, the mouth does not appear to be subject to heavy fluvial sediment deposition. The state of knowledge of the Spoeg is largely limited to the information obtained during the ECRU survey of 17/18 October 1980. This report provides historical information on Spoeg river but the flood history, in particular is lacking.
