Wave Details

Conditions

• Best in spring, when flows are higher (> 8,000)
• Update March 2024: Now the wave is good at 2.20 m to 1.80 m with levels in the 10 000 m3/s

Characteristics

• Great in spring, often too flat in summer.
• Usually pretty hard to catch by paddle-in
• Generally, if the wave is too green to catch, it’s too flat to surf.

Dangers

• The wave was destroyed during winter 2014-2015. It is a big hole now and shouldn’t be surfed at all. Dangerous.
• There’s a rock just behind the wave.
• Do not surf in summer, as the water is usually pretty shallow.

Tips

• Swim in if it has a lot of white on the face.
• Use a bigger board if the wave is too hard to catch.
• Bring booties! (the bottom of the river is not actually foot friendly and the walk back neither).
