Gauge Information
Gauge Description:
The wave is playable at flows lower than 1500, but its pretty bland and unexciting. Conversely, you can play when its above 7000, but the wave begins to wash out and turn into a mess of unstructured churning terror. Ideal is between 3500 cfs and 6000 cfs.
Dam release information can be found here:
LCRA Release Info
Additionally, the local authorities will likely put a boat ban into effect if and when the flow goes much higher than 7000 cfs. (Many times, they'll ban boat traffic way before.) When this happens, it is not recommended that you try your luck against the ban. The fines are significant and Austin Fire Department, Police Department or other rescue personnel may just impound your boat to prove a point!
