Chatty Ups to 215cfs (Equitable Surf Queues Reminders)

The main reservoir release gate will increase from 190 cfs to 215 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 10 cfs today, Saturday, July 20, 2024.

RRP: 230cfs+/- Sixx looked to be surfing good the first half of the day and will get better as the increase in flow hits early this afternoon.

Scout: 750cfs+/- Surf is up…. Weekend tourist hours are in effect because, it is the weekend and will have long lineups to surf.

Pueblo: 900cfs+/- Surf is up…. Good alternative to the very crowded Scout Wave.

River Surfing Tips: When the line up is long on one side and short on the other side, be ready to even up the turns. Short-side lets at least 2 people go on the long side to every one on the short-side.

Keep in “mind” the gap between lineup sides needs to be equitable!!

Another way of evening out the short-side to the long-side is to glance across the wave to the end of the line when you get to the short-side. Mentally you are now behind that person. So as you move up you will know is it a 2/1 ratio or a 3/1 ratio or even briefly back to 1/1 ratio.

Just be cool during crowded surf sessions and also limit your ride to 30 seconds or count your turns that equate to 30 seconds.

Go surf and have fun!
