Level to go to 3.7' for Thursday... if you can believe the predictor. That would be a welcome change from the recent weeks of levels in the low 3 foot range.

How does that affect the east shore wave? I think at some level it disappears?

It starts to disappear at 3.6. You can still get a ride at 3.7 but it always seemed best to me between 3.6 and 3.2.

[RB]

Yes... if the level does go to 3.7 the East shore wave would just be a glassy wave, probably no break to speak of, that might be able to be surfed, but would not be ideal.

Karen and i will be there at 6:00.  Tandem Canoe with a car at Al's and Fort Hunter boat access.
I wonder if the barge can climb up the rocks as easy climbing down

Looks like the level will be around 3.5'  ..... should be a good level for the east shore wave, for all you east shore wave boaters.

FYI ... Josh said that the East Shore Wave was still too glassy at 3.5'. Needs to be a bit lower to have some break on it.
