Map of USGS gauge 08123800 and the river around it
Where Beals Ck nr Westbrook, TX sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Texas Parks and Wildlife uses are 70°F and 74°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 0.04–4.1 ft³/s (middle half of 68 years of record). Now: 0.31 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 0.31 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 68 years of record (1959–2026): 10th 0, 25th 0.04, median 1.1, 75th 4.1, 90th 19 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 81 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).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 53%, from 0.66 to 0.31 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.
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)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.
NWS observed 1.47 ft stage, 1 ft³/s at Nov 5, 7:15 PM CST (NWS gauge WBRT2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
