When will Boca Surf Park open?


Boca Surf Park is actively moving through development milestones. A formal timeline will be announced following final entitlements and approvals. To receive verified updates as they’re released join our mailing and SMS list.

Where will Boca Surf Park be located?


Boca Surf Park is being developed in South Florida, within a high-growth coastal market selected for its strategic fit, accessibility, and long-term value. The location has been identified, and we are advancing through the appropriate channels with city officials and partners. Further details will be shared at the appropriate time.

What wave technology will Boca Surf Park feature?


Boca Surf Park will be powered by Wavegarden Cove, a globally proven surf lagoon technology that offers consistent, high-performance waves with precision control. It provides ideal conditions for all levels of surfing—from first-timers to seasoned athletes—within a controlled, ocean-quality environment.

How will the project manage the significant water usage for the 7-acre surf lagoon?

Boca Surf Park will use Wavegarden’s closed-circuit lagoon, requiring only 25,000–50,000m³ of water, similar to an Olympic pool and far less than golf courses. Once filled, the system recycles and treats the same water continuously, with no loss except minor evaporation. Wavegarden’s advanced Water Treatment Technology keeps the water pristine and safe. The lagoon can use recovered rainwater or greywater, minimizing reliance on local mains supply. Unlike many recreational facilities, the water in the lagoon remains usable and non-polluting, aligning with environmental standards and community expectations.

How will noise from wave generation and park activities be controlled?

Boca Surf Park is designed to operate well within acceptable sound thresholds, with multiple strategies to ensure a quiet and respectful presence in the community. The park will utilize Wavegarden’s low-noise technology, with wave generation systems that produce 45–50 dBA at the source, comparable to a quiet electric vehicle. This allows the natural sound of breaking waves to be heard without mechanical intrusion.

The surf park will also act as a natural acoustic buffer between the I-95 freeway and nearby neighborhoods, helping to offset ambient traffic noise that typically exceeds 70 dBA. Advanced design features—such as strategic layout, enclosed mechanical systems, and native landscape buffers—further reduce sound transmission beyond the site boundary.

Our strategy is informed by real-world acoustic assessments from similar projects, demonstrating compliance with local and state noise regulations. Additionally, the park’s operational plan emphasizes proactive management of crowds and equipment, ensuring low-impact, high-enjoyment use of the site. For context, the lagoon operates below the level of a typical conversation (60 dBA) and significantly lower than heavy traffic, lawn mowers, or emergency sirens, as shown in the comparison chart.

What steps are planned to reduce energy use and carbon emissions?

Boca Surf Park will use Wavegarden’s Cove technology, the most energy-efficient system in the sector—consuming 10 times less energy than pneumatic surf systems. The wave machine and supporting systems use 325–455 kWh per hour, a fraction of comparable facilities. Wavegarden systems recover up to 15% of energy during braking and support integration with photovoltaic solar power and grid-based renewable sources, aiming for carbon neutrality. We’re also exploring waste heat recovery from wave-making systems to support building heating and air conditioning, further reducing emissions.

How will Boca Surf Park integrate with the local landscape and community character?

Boca Surf Park is designed to complement Boca Raton’s natural and cultural character. The project will feature native landscaping, natural materials, and a low-profile architectural design that blends into the surrounding environment. We’re working closely with city officials and local stakeholders to ensure the park enhances the area’s appeal and contributes to the community’s coastal identity. Public access, gathering spaces, and family-friendly amenities will make the surf park a seamless extension of Boca’s active lifestyle.

How will lighting be managed at Boca Surf Park to minimize impact?

Lighting at Boca Surf Park will be designed to minimize impact on the surrounding environment and community. Light levels are contained within the surf lagoon area, with spillover dropping to below 10 lux at the park’s boundary and effectively dissipating beyond. The system will use targeted, low-glare, energy-efficient lighting to focus illumination where needed—on the waves—while ensuring surrounding areas remain protected from excess light. This approach supports a safe and enjoyable environment that aligns with local regulations and community expectations.

How will Boca Surf Park mitigate traffic and parking impacts?

Boca Surf Park is designed to integrate efficiently with existing infrastructure, avoiding the traffic challenges common to large recreational venues. Unlike conventional Water Parks, which experience peak-hour surges of over 500 vehicles followed by continuous arrivals throughout the day, Boca Surf Park operates on staggered hourly sessions, generating only 120–140 vehicle movements per hour. This results in a steady, predictable traffic pattern from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., preventing gridlock and preserving emergency access. On-site parking is scaled to meet peak demand with minimal queuing, and the site includes designated zones for rideshare, bicycles, and pedestrian entry. No road expansions or special traffic controls are required, as the surrounding network can accommodate projected volumes. This approach reduces peak congestion by up to 75%, ensuring efficient flow for visitors and minimal impact on local residents.

Who is Boca Surf Park for?


Boca Surf Park is for surfers, families, athletes, and anyone drawn to energy, movement, and intentional design. Whether you’re looking to train, learn, or simply experience something unique, Boca Surf Park offers a space that’s both high-performance and highly accessible.

Can beginners learn to surf at Boca Surf Park?


Yes. Boca Surf Park is designed to create an ideal learning environment. We will offer certified instruction, beginner-specific wave settings, and equipment to ensure a safe, confidence-building experience for new surfers.

Will Boca Surf Park host events or programs?


Yes. Boca Surf Park will serve as a platform for curated events, community programs, and cultural experiences—from youth initiatives and live demos to wellness sessions and private rentals. Details on programming will be released closer to launch.

Is Boca Surf Park family-friendly?


Yes. The park is being developed with a broad guest experience in mind, including designated beginner zones, family-friendly programming, shaded areas, and on-site amenities designed for all ages.

What if I’m not a surfer, can I still enjoy Boca Surf Park?


Absolutely. Boca Surf Park is designed to offer more than waves. Whether you’re coming with family, exploring new experiences, or simply enjoying the space, there will be food, gathering areas, wellness offerings, and public programs available to all guests—not just surfers.
