Anyone know the quality of swell at Rufus?
The current is 366,000 CFS, still pretty high. |

I was out there 1.5 weeks ago with similar current.
There wasn't much swell until the wind got over 30, but then it was pretty fun. |

Lame. Rufus can be the best riding in the Gorge with swell you will disappear in. As with all Gorge spots each has their own time and place to take in the madness. |

| Rufus and the wall don't "work" until run-off is over. If there is too much current, it's blown out. |
