Wavegarden Cove Technology

Wavegarden Cove Technology – The World’s Leading Wave Making System

Alaia Bay is powered by the revolutionary Wavegarden Cove technology, which is the most versatile, energy efficient and highest capacity surfing lagoon in the world.

Capable of producing between 300-1000 quality waves per hour depending on the wave setting, the patent awarded technology is based on a modular electro-mechanical design that replicates the exact movement of water particles in ocean swells. The system pumps energy into the waves as they move forward to ensure they maintain a constant height for most of the ride.

Wave size, shape, power and frequency can be adjusted at the push of a button, simply by changing modes on the control desk software – a unique feature of this system.

With the potential to host around 80 surfers simultaneously in a safe and controlled environment, the surfing lagoon has a variety of different surf zones that offer ideal waves for everyone – from newcomers to professionals.
