Description
A park-and-play feature in Clackamette Park. It forms during periods of low flow when the Clackamas River is below 1200 cfs and the stage height of the Willamette River is under 3 ft. The wave forms two to three hours prior to low tide (less than 3 ft) and remains surfable for up to an hour later. During a normal season, this happens from late July through October/November. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica}
