Title: Ottawa levels??
Post by: Sean on November 01, 2008, 08:41:52 PM

Hi All,

I know that the first snow's here, but has anyone checked the levels on the Ottawa recently??

What are the chances for a park-and play at Pushbutton / Garb ??

The cars are close, and there is a firepit at the lunchspot.

What's good at 4.5? Butterfly? Way too high for Garburator/Pushbutton... Britannia gauge is back up at 3.4--soon we'll have Sewer wave and the others back...

At 4.5 Corner Wave is decent, and right-side is starting to get good.

 the britannia gauge is only at 3.1 ,  the sewer wave doesn't come in untill 3.4 ,

     I've been going to the Britannia yacht club offshore boating (B.Y.O.B) and M&M wave, they are pretty fun at this level and well protected from the wind being next to the shoreline.

M&M is 15 feet above B.Y.O.B. , I'll post pics tommorow at noon (I'm going there at 9:30) it's like a little push button , not sure how it is with higher level now, full,full, easy improved eddie . waves are just a few feet from the shore.

 Here are photos of M&M and  B.Y.O.B at level of 3.1 ,   I will be there tommorow at 9:30 AM , today was pretty fun with nice weather  ;D . the M&M wave feels similar to a small pushbutton.

Thanks. When I went with Paul and John, that's where the bow would hit the bottom of the river front surfing: ponk... ponk... Pretty shallow then. Looks great now! Should find a way to go this weekend...

it's much deeper 3.1 is a great level , I was sinking my bow in the M&M wave and not hitting bottom. seems exactly like a smaller version of pushbutton :o. get out while the weathers warm !
