Gates
Up to 10 gates can be opened, with two pour-overs at either side of the weir running.
- 1-3 gates open - Not usable.
- 4 gates open - long boats only.
- 5-6 gates open - depends on pool levels but might work.
- 7-9 gates open - optimal conditions. Produces a bowl-like wave.
- 10 gates open - can be good, but stops bowling and produces a large stopper.
