About Wavegarden technology
Wavegarden is the wave technology that creates the world's longest waves, ideal conditions for surfing, as well as a broadly appealing range of other wave sports such as body boarding, kayaking, and stand up paddling. Early testing and professional feedback show Wavegarden to be the closest thing to an ocean break.
Wavegarden, industry leader in the design and manufacture of wave generation systems, has built a full-sized demo centre in Northern Spain. This first of its kind facility will be used strictly for fine-tuning, testing and as a showroom and is not open to the public.
Located at Wavegarden's research and development site, the new surfing lagoon generates perfectly formed tubing waves that peel for more than 220 m without losing power or shape. It is the longest artificial surfing wave in existence, and the wave quality, shape, and speed, are suitable for the highest levels of performance surfing.
Every minute two identical waves break simultaneously left and right with barreling point break type rides up to 20 seconds long. Once the waves reach the bay area, the left and right hand waves transform into smooth rolling whitewater waves; perfect for children, longboarding and surf lessons.
The technology is designed to generate 120 waves per hour with an average power of 270 kW and has proven capable of making waves of any size and length, depending on the size of the lagoon.

Wavegarden’s wave generating technology is the result of 10 years of intense R&D by a highly qualified team of engineers specialised in mechanical systems, fluid dynamics and industrial and aeronautical engineering – all of them noted for their passion and knowledge of surfing.
Wavegarden has been chosen as Overall Winner of the ISPO BRAND NEW AWARD 2012 for its innovative product.
Wavegarden works in the exact same way an ocean wave does. A mass of water is systematically moved over a surface that causes the wave to form and then fold on itself – just like a wave breaking over a reef or sand bar. The difference is that Wavegarden can regulate the size and speed of the wave at will, making it engaging for all different skill levels, from beginner to ripper.
This technology has been fully and exclusively developed by Wavegarden, which owns the patent. The ground breaking technology is based on an innovative hydrodynamic Wavefoil and a revolutionary wave lagoon design which creates two perfect barreling waves at the same time.
The Wavefoil generator has been proved to be more reliable and to require significantly less energy than existing wave generating technologies and those that are still in conceptual design stage. The Wavegarden technology has secured all the necessary quality and safety certifications through strong partnerships with leading industry firms.
Robust design combined with high quality mechanically engineered components maximizes the lifetime of the system and reduces maintenance costs. Building on our many years of experience Wavegarden can provide guaranteed technical support and the specialized maintenance services required to ensure the long term successful operation of this large-scale facility.
