I am talking first hand experience, I was there too. My reply was written in November 2012 based on what you and I both experienced in November 2012.
What you smelled was the rotting seaweed. It can produce an obnoxious odor. That smell would be there even if the river water hadnt been there. And if you remember correctly, the odor lasted for a few days after the water cleared.
So what you have done is to take two separate occurrences that happened simultaneously, the rotting seaweed and the river water and and came to the wrong conclusion. They are entirely two separate events and happened independently of each other.
People who witnessed this recent one as I did first hand all noted that there was no smell. That was because there was no rotting seaweed this time as we did not have rough seas to wash seaweed onto the beach. For your conclusion to be correct, there would have a horrible smell noted - which eyewitnesses said there was not. They experienced it first hand just as I did.
And I experienced both cases first hand.
