Ride The Wild Surf, Big Benni’s at 730cfs is incredibly fun! Chiclet’s might start to show some face (no promises though).

Danger Will Robinson!…Use caution surfing today but Big Benni’s is still a safe (safer) option. Sixx is blown out. RRP will be pushing 1,000cfs. Adams County with the confluence of Clear Creek and other water will be over 3,000cfs with strange waves showing up that are no joke. If you are going to try a […]
Chatfield increase from 570cfs to 680cfs today, Mon 6/12/23.
Looks like Sixx will be out of play today with rain water still cascading down into the S Platte that is keeping things above 700cfs. Will surely be above surfable level with Chatty increase to 680. Big Bennie’s will be surfable, could use a tune but should be solid at 680+ today.
