Pricing for a 55-minute surf session will range from $90 to $161 depending on the wave level and season. There are seven different levels and price points. Pricing will change depending on season and special events.

Surfers must be at least eight years old in our public sessions. If you rent out the entire lagoon for a fully private session, the minimum age can be reduced to six years old if they are capable swimmers.

Helmets will be required in our Expert Barrels and Pro Barrels sessions.

Helmets are provided by Atlantic Park Surf, but personal helmets are welcome.

Surfers should arrive at least 45 minutesbefore their surf session to allow adequate time to check-in, prepare for their session, and attend the briefing 15 minutes before the session begins.

Disclaimer: Please arrive at least 60 minutes before your surf session for any rental needs. Or any Beginner/Novice coached sessions.

Lagoon capacity is set to give our guests the safest and most enjoyable experience. Each level has total capacity that ranges from 20 to 40 surfers in the lagoon. Surfers will have the opportunity to catch 10-15 waves on average during each session.

We do not allow surfers to swap jerseys or sessions with other surfers. If you have any questions during your session, please communicate to the reef host in your session.

Weather-related closures or other park closures will result in a full or partial credit, or voucher, depending on the time remaining in the reservation.

Our lagoon is powered by the 46-module Wavegarden Cove - the world’s leading surf technology. Visit wavegarden.com for more information.

The patented Wavegarden Cove® technology offers a revolutionary development never seen before: up to 1000 perfect waves/hour similar to those in the ocean.

Actual wave counts are dependent on wave types. Larger waves require more time in between sets, and smaller waves require less time, for optimal lagoon and surf conditions.
