After much research, failed attempts for change of status quo, and self-reflection; I have decided to refrain from knowingly promoting river surfing due to river surfing’s unwittingly and knowingly negligent use of unsafe gear (in particular the use of quick release leashes and improperly designed personal floatation devices for river surfing). Quick Release Leashes Are

Chatfield decreased to 80cfs at 11:30am Saturday, August 19, 2023. Sixx was surfed Friday at low flow but the Chatty drop to 80cfs will essentially take the surf out of Sixx, Chiclets, and Beavers and 16th to a point. Though the desperate surfers might hit Beavers anyway (it was surfed early Saturday) or Dave’s Wave

Hazard has been removed from the South Platte channel. Chatfield Dam will increase from 100 cfs to 950 cfs at 1:30 pm today, Friday 17 May 2024. Miracle Wave is surfable again but not epic surfable. Benni’s will drop out of surfable range for a couple of hours and hopefully be back by 3:30pm or

The main reservoir release gate was decreased from 1400 to 1050 cfs at 8:45am then temporarily decreased to 100 cfs at 11am due to a safety hazard downstream of Chatfield reservoir. The release will increase once the hazard is removed this afternoon. The fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Friday, May 17, 2024. This will make

Surf is up all over the place. Good chance the Chatfield flows remains 1,400cfs. If it changes I will update you. Miracle Wave (Chatfield State Park): If Chatfield is over a thousand cfs (and it is since still pushing about 1,4000cfs out of the dam) Miracle Wave is in and one to experience or at

Just by chance I had business down in Pueblo, Colorado the morning of Thursday May 16, 2024 and after a meeting I got word Chatty was going up to 1,400cfs and “Miracle Wave” was up… but I was in Pueblo. Kind of bummed I decided to go get some quality footage of “Pueblo’s New Wave”

Since the Chatfield release is over a thousand (currently at 1,400cf today Thur 5/16/24), a famous metro-Denver river wave is surfable today called Miracle Wave located right at the Chatfield Dam release. Miracle Wave is a tricky wave to surf as it is mellow but fun since it is glassy long/wide. You will be guaranteed

The main reservoir release gate will be increased from 600 to 1400 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Thursday, May 16, 2024. Chatfield is releasing an incredibly high amount of water. Benni’s will likely need to be shaped again for this flow…. RRP will be expert only. This is where

The main reservoir release gate will be decreased from 650 to 600 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Wednesday, May 15, 2024. Not sure how much 50cfs reduction will do but…. might help Sixx get a tad bit greener. Sixx will still be somewhat fluffy but if you jump on it
