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

The main reservoir release gate will be increased from 425 to 500 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Friday, June 28, 2024. Quick one as I am at Pueblo Levee 3 & 4 (wave 3 is safe)…. Sixx will still be excellent but might need a slight tune. Go surf!

The main reservoir release gate will remain at 425 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Thursday, June 27, 2024. Right on folks, we got another day of incredible surf at Wave Sixx!!! Keep those rides down to 30 seconds when it gets crowded (another way to do this is surf

The main reservoir release gate will be reduced from 500 to 425cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Wednesday, June 26, 2024. Another quick report…. Sixx will clean up a tad bit more today with 75cfs less on the wave…. Air is hot but the water is not, so bring enough

The main reservoir release gate will be reduced from 600 to 500cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Tuesday, June 25, 2024. Keeping things simple for the report today…. We are stepping down in flow with 500cfs out of the dam but there is currently an additional close to 100cfs in

The main reservoir release gate will be reduced from 750 to 600cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Monday, June 24, 2024. Looking like the water above and into Chatfield Reservoir is slowing down and we are starting to see a step down of the release out of the Chatfield Dam

The main reservoir release gate will be reduced from 800 cfs to 750 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Sunday, June 23, 2024. RRP: Sixx is still blown out (despite 50cfs lower from yesterday) except for maybe longboards, bodyboards, and surfmats. Big Benni’s is the premier local spot to surf.

The main reservoir release gate will remain at 800 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Saturday, June 22, 2024. RRP: Sixx is blown out but I think I do see a longboard wave in it (meaning can possibly surf a 7′ or longer board with a classic longboard shape in

The main reservoir release gate will be increased from 750 to 800 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Friday, June 21, 2024. We are in the throws of high flow water, extreme caution and patience might be the best plan for the next few days or more. Safety is paramount

The main reservoir release gate will be increased from 650 cfs to 750, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Thursday, June 20, 2024. RRP: No indications the higher flows out of the Chatfield reservoir are going to subside anytime soon. Sixx will blow out shortly. Before it likely blows out completely
