Surf Forecast for Thursday AM 7/6/23
Look for good morning surf at Sixx and Benni’s Thursday morning. Dawn patrol will likely be your best bet for Sixx. Check the RRP (Union) gauge and if it is at 400cfs-ish just get in the car and go surf daybreak. If you happen to sleep in a bit, look at the Sixx pole cam […]
Chatfield Reservoir release increased from 240cfs to 340cfs Wed 7/5/2023
The official/formal word just received. Getting a 100cfs more from Chatty today that was released at 10:15am. With the S. Platte rain bump from last night and rain water working its way down from the foothills, the current Union (RRP) gauge is somewhere around 330cfs….. Should see continued 300cfs-ish and possibly 400cfs+/- at RRP at […]

Heavy rains late yesterday right before and after the metro area fireworks and then into the night, flushed out Sixx at dawn; however the flow is dropping and appears will be surfable soon or is surfable now.

Chatfield remains at 240cfs for the 4th of July 2023.
Enjoy the surf responsibly today!!! Sixx is cranking good. Reports of 5 minute rides on Chiclets this morning. Benni’s prob needs a bit more zing in the shape but is surfable. And a couple of fools were headed to Bingo Wave this morning to try to score some surf (actually try to score some parking)…. […]

Chatfield will reduce to 300 cfs 7/2/23 (Tip: Caution, Board Behind Wave)
Chatty drop basically still keeps RRP in play. Sixx will need a tune later today. Benni’s will likely need a tune and skate in will be probably the way to surf it. Chiclets be bet better today. Longmont’s “All Day Wave” was surfed yesterday by locals Fred and Melissa. River surfing is truly all about […]

Sunny Saturday surf at RRP into dawn patrol/morning Sunday.
