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 […]

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 […]

Miracle Wave is surfable if you have a longboard (or high volume board), […]
