Gauge

Gauge Description:

The wave is known to wash out at a pretty low water level. Generally the lower the river, the better the play.

The USGS gauge is a bit downstream of Atlanta Road, and gets the flow of Nancy Creek and some other side streams.

A good visual gauge is at the Hwy 41 bridge upstream, at the metro hooch take-out. If you see rocks in the riverbed then the wave is happening. If all the rocks are covered the wave is generally washed out, but the metro is at a good level.
