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

Again no official word but Chatfield rumored to be bumped up to 650cfs. This puts Sixx at the edge late this afternoon and would need a shape to possibly hold at that flow. Benni’s will likely be the spot to surf by late afternoon to evening. NOTE, When surfing Benni’s at higher flows and if

Still waiting for the official word, though intel is 1:30pm the Chatfield release goes up to 400cfs. Sixx will be at “code red” (excellent range) late this afternoon or this evening. Be cool if the lineup gets long and limit your rides to like 30 to 45 seconds max. Benni’s was shaped yesterday, so that

Not sure how long it will last. Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms out there! LBK

The main reservoir release gate will increase from 50 cfs to 60 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Friday, May 10, 2024. Gee thanks for extra 10cfs… Chatfield release is likely to hold at 60cfs all weekend long. RRP WAVES: Sixx and Benny’s are not surfable for mere mortals. Chiclets

High flow alert for 16th Street Wave, Trestles Wave, and potentially Cherry Creek as a result of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer’s annual sediment flushing process at Cherry Creek Reservoir Dam outlet into the Cherry Creek starting Tuesday May 21st and culminating late May 22nd. Although the official new press has not been released

The main reservoir release gate will remain at 50 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Thursday, May 9, 2024. No surprise that Chatfield release remains low. Maybe if you lost a fin surfing the past swell at Sixx, you might want to take a look around the river edges today.

Duty now for the Future… Please email a comment to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) requesting surfable features at Reynolds Landing in the S. Platte River in Littleton near the Breckenridge Brewery. USACE is requesting public comment by June 8, 2024 on the permit request for the Reynolds Landing river restoration project. See:

The main reservoir release gate will be decreased from 75 cfs to 50 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Wednesday, May 8, 2024. Not surprising though rain is in the forecast later in the week and next week but not looking like the torrential precipitation we need for surf. Also

Sixx and Benny’s will be surfable to sometime mid afternoon… “So, Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em” Rumors suck.. No official update yet from the Chatfield water managers, but we are seeing a reduction in flow that started at 12:15pm. Not looking all that promising in the next few days rain-wise to cause much of

No change at Chatfield today. The main reservoir release gate will remain at 212 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Monday, May 6, 2024. Bitter sweet surf report today w/ Chatfield giving us surfable flow at 212cfs plus some native flow in the river; though, winds at 20mph gusting upwards
