Thunderdome Wave
PlayspotClass V
Description
Large wave just after the cliff ends below the MD side overlook. You
will need a fast playboat/ rpm style boat to catch it. Very large bouncy
wave. At 6.5 ft it is very possible to get a modern playboat on this
wave, but it's hard.. This is the stakeout wave of the Potomac. It is
surfable on the fly much higher than 7ft, it finally washes out too much
to surfable in the low 9 ft range, any level below that and its good on
the fly. The stated range only refers to the eddy service. If
thunderdome is in scout from the overlook and you will find several big
waves. This wave is always trashy and boily, surfs of more than 10
seconds are impressive and rare. Boats like rippers, with bow rocker
will help a lot.
Levels: 6.4-7.2 ft
Boat: RPM type, playboat
