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

8/31/24 Morning Surf Report (will update later) RRP: 141cfs+/- Seems like there was and is a bit of extra flow in the S. Platte River above the dam release amount. Not sure if it will last today. Keep an eye on the cam and gauges.

The main reservoir gate release will remain 110 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain 5 cfs today, Friday, August 30, 2024. RRP: 114cfs+/- What up? Staying at 110cfs out the dam… Sixx was surfed at this flow last night on a 6′ foamy for a reference point. Chiclets has a tasty wave on it today
-
The main reservoir gate release will increase from 85 to 110 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Thursday, August 29, 2024. RRP: 115cfs+/- (predicted). So this puts it at the very edge of surfable Sixx and with the shaper currently set steep, maybe Sixx will be surfable on shorter boards (if

8/28/24 3pm Will assume that the water is holding at 80cfs from dam since no update yet from DNR-DWR Chatfield Reservoir team. RRP: 85cfs+/- Chiclets was surfed this morning and likely still has a wave for this afternoon/evening and into about noon tomorrow, but will need a high volume board or a longboard or a

The main reservoir gate release will increase from 60 to 85 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Tuesday, August 27, 2024. RRP: 95cfs+/- (predicted) We got a slight bump up from Chatfield that will make Chiclets fun to surf with a larger volume board or bodyboard. Pueblo: 378cfs+/- Yes, P-town new

The main reservoir release gate will remain at 60 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Monday, August 26, 2024.

The main reservoir release gate will remain at 60 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Sunday, August 25, 2024. RRP: 66cfs+/- Nathan and Longboard Bill were having a blast yesterday at about this flow at Chiclets on some inflatable boards. Bet you would have fun on a bodyboard as well today on

8/24/24 Going to call it staying at 60cfs out of the Chatfield Reservoir/Dam. Water managers are running late on the official water release order. RRP: 66cfs+/- Disappointing flow continues. Too bad we don’t have a VFMP version in the S. Platte River (turn it down a bit during the week to save some water and

8/23/24 2pm update. The main reservoir release gate will remain at 60 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Friday, August 23, 2024. RRP: 78cfs+/- Rained hard last night and spiked to 120cfs at midnight but quickly drained of by daylight. Monsoons are just not producing enough water into the system for lasting

8/22/24 2pm, assuming we will remain at 60cfs out of the Chatfield Reservoir/Dam since there is no official word yet so late in the day from DNR-DWR. RRP: 73cfs+/- Looking flat at RRP. Possible late afternoon rain but not no need to skip out on hitting the gym. Pueblo: 350cfs+/- (predicted) Pueblo Dam reduced the
