Chatty Drop Rumored to 75cfs Noonish (Surf dies off in a few hours)

Sixx and Benny’s will be surfable to sometime mid afternoon… “So, Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em”

Rumors suck.. No official update yet from the Chatfield water managers, but we are seeing a reduction in flow that started at 12:15pm.

Not looking all that promising in the next few days rain-wise to cause much of a gutter bump or to entice the powers-be to drop any additional water out of the Chatfield Reservoir….. Chance of rain next week and will be keeping an eye on that for you.

Scout Wave in Salida is probably your best bet if you are willing to travel since it is sitting at 550cfs+/- and seems to be steeper when it drops down toward 400ish.

Mother’s Day is this weekend, maybe mom would like to go check out the public showing of The Gerry Lopez movie, “The Yin & Yang of Gerry Lopez” at the Badfish Surf Shop on Sunday 5/10/2024 5pm-7pm.

If you can, surf it down at Sixx.
