It's starting to look like another disappointing rain event.

Precip is gone from Saturday's forecast now. And the path of today's rain is more to the south of us.

Best guess now is maybe Beaver Creek surfing tomorrow early - IF the rain delivers enough water to bring the gauge back up to around 1000 cfs.

For those not familiar, there is a nice easy surfing wave 1/2 mile upstream from the Sprucevale parking area on Little Beaver Creek. It's about a 10 minute carry up the trail to the spot. This is a great spot to learn to surf, as it (normally) has great eddy service and has no hazards downstream. Right now there is a tree in the eddy that makes it a bit harder to access the wave, but it's still do-able. Plus I hope to prune that tree back a bit in order to improve the situation. I'm trying to get used to a 'new' boat, so I'm probably looking at a half hour surf session.

Here's a vid of the wave.

I'll post up in the morning if it looks like a go.
