Re: Teme

Cheers for the info... The info we have is that the wave closes out at about 0.9 but as the river continues to rise it opens back up into a green wave before eventually washing out at about 1.35m. Is this right? Are you able to check this next time it gets big? Cheers!

Re: Teme

I think it is worth noting that currently there is a wave at the edges and a hole in the middle. The hole can be very fisty at higher levels. We normally use an eddy maker on the one side to make entering the wave easier. I would suggest that 0.35 would be the lowest anyone would want to visit and 0.9 Is around the max. Look for knightwick surf warriors on Facebook for me info

Re: Sprint

The gauge reading seem to have changed by .2 after it was broken a few weeks back. Take .2 off the reading ie .5 now is really .3!

Re: Wharfe

The Grassington EA gauge which this was calibrated against (http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/riverlevels/riverstation.aspx?StationId=8087) has been non-functional for a while now, so I have removed it -- we'll need to find a new benchmark.

Re: Plym

I've added a scrape calibration here at 0.4; based on Andy's comment this is probably about right.
