Map of USGS gauge 02163001 and the river around it
Where SALUDA RIVER NEAR WILLIAMSTON, SC sits, with 5 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 283–563 ft³/s (middle half of 31 years of record). Now: 296 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 296 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 31 years of record (1996–2026): 10th 167, 25th 283, median 373, 75th 563, 90th 1,070 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 122 ft³/s, highest 2,560 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 74.1%, from 170 to 296 ft³/s. Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
Not over South Carolina DNR's 70°F line. Water 63.5°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 63.5°F. South Carolina DNR gives 52 to 62°F as optimum (“when water temperatures are optimum (52-62° F), trout fishing can be productive throughout the day”) and 70°F as the line above which water stresses trout.

From our page for Saluda River, on the same river as this gauge; the agency list is for the water, not this exact reach. Source: The Tailwaters (SCDNR-managed trout tailwaters below Lake Hartwell Dam and Lake Murray Dam) (South Carolina Department of Natural Resources).
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 74.1%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.

Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
