The Wave – inland surfing for beginners or Pros
Wavepool surfing
Whatever your age, fitness, learning or physical ability, we’ll help you to get the most out of your surfing and your time at The Wave.
With a 180m long surfing lake, The Wave delivers an unrivalled inland surf experience suitable for everyone from beginner to seasoned professional. We’ve designed every aspect to ensure it is fun for all, whatever your ability. At The Wave, no one is judged – except on competition days! It’s wonderful place to learn to surf in England, on safe and consistent waves.
Our waves are produced by Wavegarden Cove technology. This technology is groundbreaking and can generate up to 1,000 quality waves per hour, ranging from 50cm (1.7ft) to almost 2m (6.5ft) in height. We can produce a new wave every 8-10 seconds.
Importantly, the whole surfing experience has been designed to ensure each surfer has the space, time and serenity to enjoy their surf at The Wave without ever needing to contend with the crowds.
