Backyard Hole

PlayspotClass II29.73200, -98.10500

Description

A play spot opens up at river right about 1/2 mile below Gruene at high levels (thousands of cfs.)  At around 3000-3500 cfs, it is a playable hole, generally trashy and deep at surfer's right and shallow at surfer's left.  There is a small eddy at surfer's left that can be caught only if you flush out of that side of the hole.  At 5000 cfs, Backyard Hole is a non-retentive wave train.  At high flows, the wave/hole creates some unavoidable irregular eddy lines and whirlpools at river left.
