Chatfield will decrease from 60 cfs to 10 cfs today, Monday, May 8, 2023.

Sadly this takes Chiclets and Beavers out of play. Dave’s Wave is an option even when Chatfield is at minimal flow. Scout is looking good but RECOMMEND NOT USING A LEASH! Leashes are sketch right now at Scout. Board got hung up on the platform and surfer had to deploy quick release the other day. […]

Chatfield- No Change Announced 5/2/23

Surf Forecast (Tuesday afternoon into Monday morning): Typically if by 2pm there are no updates on Chatfield Reservoir release the output will remain same from the prior day. So it seems Chatfield will remain at 30 cfs. Chiclets is too low to surf. Beavers is surfable via Bear Creek Reservoir release that is putting 45cfs […]
