The energy efficiency of Wavegarden’s wave generator, combined with the high capacity of its lagoons and the highest quality, variety, and quantity of waves, are the keys to the success of the 9 surf parks built worldwide using this groundbreaking technology.
For over ten years, the Spanish company has been dedicated to researching and developing advanced wave-generation technologies, creating sustainable and profitable surf lagoons to deliver perfect waves and beach experiences anywhere. Its patented technology and robust business model have become one of the main attractions for new real estate and leisure developments.
As a result, Wavegarden is currently the company with the most operational surf parks worldwide. To date, it has nine facilities across four continents that have attracted over 2 million visitors and generated more than 35 million waves. Additionally, 10 projects are currently under construction, set to open between 2025 and 2026, with another 50 projects in development.
In this context, the company highlights in its video «Why Wavegarden?» the features and advantages that position it as a global leader:
High profitability
With an internal rate of return (IRR) over 20%, each facility has proven profitable. This success has inspired several clients to open additional facilities and consolidate their growth.
A globally patented system
The Wavegarden Cove wave-generation technology, patented worldwide, represents an unprecedented technological breakthrough. Capable of producing up to 1,000 waves per hour, the system ensures the greatest variety, quality, and quantity of waves on the market, with minimal energy and water consumption.
Maximum energy efficiency
Wavegarden Cove is the most efficient and sustainable wave generator on the market, consuming only 0.3 to 1.0 kWh per wave, depending on its size and power – 10 times less than equivalent pneumatic systems. This energy efficiency can save between $2 million and $3 million USD annually. Furthermore, thanks to its low energy consumption, it is the only surf lagoon technology capable of being fully powered by solar energy produced on-site.
The highest surfer capacity
With a capacity of over 90 surfers simultaneously in the lagoon, the occupancy rate is up to four times higher than other systems. Economically, this nearly triples revenue generation from the surf lagoon alone while benefiting other surrounding business units such as hospitality, accommodation, surf schools, and retail shops.
Waves for all skill levels
Wavegarden offers the most extensive wave menu on the market, featuring over 20 types of waves tailored to beginners, intermediate, advanced, and expert surfers.
Over 20 years of lifespan
The Wavegarden Cove has a lifespan exceeding 20 years, with a proven reliability rate of 99.9%. Its robust machinery ensures uninterrupted operation during use.
Thanks to continuous technological evolution, Wavegarden delivers the best surfing experience outside the ocean. It provides a space for sports, fun, and leisure, while fostering a healthy and active lifestyle.
