The USGS gauge is a bit downstream of Atlanta Road, and gets the flow of Nancy Creek and some other side streams.
A good visual gauge is at the Hwy 41 bridge upstream, at the metro hooch take-out. If you see rocks in the riverbed then the wave is happening. If all the rocks are covered the wave is generally washed out, but the metro is at a good level.
