Mr. Freepik say’s, “It will still be surfbable at Sixx. Chiclet’s should be cleaning up. Though, Benni’s will drop out of play about 1pm. Get ready for some steeper Sixx that is fun to surf….“ Keep an eye out for late shower rain bumps in an abnormally wet June this year. LBK
Chatfield reduced from 410 cfs to 260 cfs today 09:30 am, Wed, 5/31/23.
Sixx will be still be fun but most likely need a tune. Benni’s is still surfable but will need a skate in from the lower step to get on the wave. LBK

Look for continuing good strong surf at RRP all day. Sixx Wave will likely widen up on the sides a bit this afternoon as the flow drops down toward 410cfs. Both Sixx and Benni’s waves may need to be slightly shaped/tuned later today. LBK
