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).

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

Not giving up hope yet… Looking at the water calls for Chatty and the farmers still asking for water presumably for pumpkin lattes and pumpkin beer making stuff. If your jonesing for local surf: Beavers and 16th have some waves right now, and of course Dave’s will be up later in the day. LBK

Getting interesting…. Monsoons are predicted to head this way. Will it be enough rain into the foothills to get some quality release out of Chatty soon???? LBK

In surfing, the term “lay day” refers to a day when conditions are not optimal for surfing. For surfing competitions, a “lay day” means the event is on hold that day due to lack of good enough surf. LBK

Chatfield dropped to 20cfs this Monday the 21st but looking back at last year, we got a late water drop the end of August 2022. So there is talk of doing a jam session event at Sixx with an opening window starting basically now. The exact type of jam session and time is yet to

Will still do a surf forecast later today for the week including flow update for Scout, etc. Dave’s Wave will still be surfable in the late afternoon. LBK

Disappointing, we had considerable rain last night.. You might be able to surf Beaver Wave or 16th before “that sound” hits in a few hours or you could go to Dave’s Wave later this afternoon. LBK
