Intermediate Surf Session
Intermediate Surf Session:
You’ll get tons of reps to push your surfing step-by-step. Our intermediate wave, The Runner, will give you a long, clean wall to work on connecting your turns, and trying some bigger maneuvers knowing you’ve got more rides coming.
The Wave:
The Runner
Open, lined-up faces allow for high performance and high variety. Our three-wave set provides three different waves to play with; wave 1 has a slightly steeper take-off and initial section, allowing for multiple top turns and a full speed end-section; wave 2 provides a slightly longer line for a racier set up for a bigger finishing turn, and wave 3 has a softer take off, but more drained out end section for a little cover up, and wrapping top-turns.

Maximum of 12 surfers per session.
30 minutes of rights, 30 minutes of lefts.
Recommended Equipment:
Soft and hard boards are allowed in the Intermediate session. If you’re riding a log, we’d recommend keeping it under 9ft.

Beginner Surf Session:
We’ll make it easy for you to get to your feet and work on your balance to start to get a feel for longer rides. Our beginner wave, The Coaster, will give you plenty of time to learn how to position for take offs, and angle towards the end of the bay. Ideal for those new to surfing sessions, book a Surf Session now!
The Wave:
The Coaster
This small, gentle ground-swell wave provides for an easy rolling takeoff. The ride is slow, consistent and allows for plenty of time to work on balance, foot placement, and to begin to understand how to turn your surfboard. The end section closest to the wall, speeds up just slightly, and gives you a chance to ride out on the open face.
- This wave gives you two options; a gentle, rolling whitewash on the periphery of the bay, and a knee to thigh-high wave on the peak that’s great for progressing from standing up in the whitewash, to starting to ride face waves.

The Wave:
The Peak (powered by PerfectSwell®)
This wave gives you the variety and setups you need to push your surfing to the limit. Wave 1 is a steep runner, with a quick take-off and open face perfect for true top to bottom surfing; wave 2 stretches that face out a bit allowing for big wraps and end-section turns at full speed; wave 3 is a slopier take-off allowing you to pump into a steeper end-section for your biggest hacks; wave 4 provides the most stretched out sections for a punchy beach-break-like set up.

Advanced Level Disclaimer:
By selecting the Advanced Session, you are signing up to surf one of the fastest, largest, and most powerful waves we offer to the public. These waves are difficult to ride and catch even for professional surfers. These waves have the power to break boards and seriously injure people. Consistently wiping out and not catching these wave makes you a danger to yourself and to others in the lineup. If you are deemed by our water patrol to be below the skill level it takes to ride these waves you will be asked to vacate the surf lagoon and we will reschedule you in a session appropriate for your skill level at no cost. We want everyone who rides our waves to have the best and safest experience possible.
The Water Park is open May 10th – September 7th, 2025.
With a Water Park & beach Day Pass you'll be able to roam around property freely and enjoy access to all of our food and beverage outlets! Fly down The Wedge Water Slides, relax in our Lazy River (rumored to be the longest in Texas…) or stroll around the surf beach area and swim in the first part of the Surf Lagoon.
Over on the Beach side of the park, you'll get access to the sandy beach lined with beach chairs (first come - first served), as well as the Surfside Shack and The Dive Bar. So you'll never be more than a few feet from a snack or cold beverage!
