Official word just sent. Be patient on Sixx shape today and even Benni’s. All the WaveShaper volunteers are busy trying to bring home the bacon Guess it is time for us to ask for some more waveshapers who work night shift… Chiclets might be all time????

Posts relayed from daily update(s) for the release of water from the Chatfield Reservoir determined by Colorado State employee Brent Schantz (River Operations & Compact Coordinator for Water Division One)
Surf Forecast Mon AM 6/26/23 Sixx? (Surf Triv- GOAT)
Strontia just dropped by 70cfs at 8am. Brent will at least match Chatty and that might put RRP at 650cfs+/- or lower later today and will be surfable. Indicators are we might even get lower flow out of the dam! Keep an eye on the RRP gauge and pole cam to confirm. Actually people were […]
Chatfield Reservoir release was decreased from 850 cfs to 630 cfs today at 09:00 am Sunday, June 25, 2023
Keep an eye on Sixx. Slim possibility it will come in.
Surf Forecast Sunday AM 6/25/23 (Surf Triv-Iconic Brands)
Today should be similar to Saturday w/ flows about the same out of Chatfield Reservoir. Will update later when the actual official release is received but look for RRP to be at 800ish to 900ish cfs Sunday. RRP- Big Benni’s was shaped perfect Sat and has a tall stinger/tail with a bowled out face and […]
Chatty dropped to 850cfs 9:30am Sat 6/24/23 (Surf Triv- Joe Cool)
The “formal” word from DWR rolled in late today. Looks like Brent only slightly reduced Chatfield flow to match the Strontia reduction this AM. Surf will be similar to yesterday. Too much water for Sixx. Big Benni’s is the place to surf but might need a tune. Bingo is good. Larger boards are best there. […]
Chatfield release to 950cfs at 8:30am Fri 6/23/23 (Surf Triv-Terms)
Flow will be too much for Sixx. Big Benni’s should be surfable but might need a waveshaper tune-up. Bingo in Golden is sketch but surfable. Be careful there and educate yourself before attempting it. See: http://endlesswaves.net/waves/golden-whitewater-park/ Trestles is in but it is a no joke wave. See: http://endlesswaves.net/waves/trestle-wave/ Pueblo is still without water but we […]
PROTECT OUR RIVERS DAY Surf Forecast Thur 6/22/23 Chatfield will increase from 680cfs to 800cfs at 09:30am (Surf Triv- Tricky D.)
Surf is likely blown out but Big Benni’s might be worth a check, though will likely need a waveshaper tune. Heavy rains late last night flooded into the S Platte River from the tributaries and raised the flow back up. The flow is dropping but, with the 800cfs from Chatty this morning and more rain […]

Chatfield from 1,030cfs to 730cfs today 8:30am Tue 6/20/23 (Surf Triv- Thruster)
(Update for Wave Sixx) Ride The Wild Surf, Big Benni’s at 730cfs is incredibly fun! Chiclet’s might start to show some face (no promises though). Sixx is still out of play need like less than 660cfs to think about surfing Sixx but keep an eye on the Six Pole cam starting today and moving into […]
Surf Forecast Juneteenth 2023 Chatfield down from 1,110cfs to 1,030cfs 10am 6/19/23
Celebrate Juneteenth and contemplate the meaning and contribution of African Americans. Big Benni’s was surfed yesterday basically at the level we will see today and got a late Sunday WaveShaper tune by Adam. Flow will remain high as water input into Chatfield is running high. What comes in still is having to go out. Miracle […]
