Description
DSRT Surf is planning a 5-acre wave pool at the center of a 18-acre master plan that includes golf, hotels, restaurants and villas.
Wave Size and Shape
When the DSRT Surf wave pool opens in 2022, it will use Wavegarden Cove technology to produce waves. According to Desert Wave Ventures, LLC, the developers behind DSRT Surf, the wave pool will be similar to URBNSURF Melbourne, but better. The wave pool will produce a variety of waves for beginners, intermediate and advanced surfers across six different areas of the pool. Wave shapes will range from barrels to whitewater rollers for beginners. Wave sizes will likely vary from 2-6 foot faces, and ride length will run up to 15 seconds… maybe longer given the size of the pool.
Productivity and Capacity
Wavegarden claims their Cove technology can create 1000 waves per hour. DSRT Surf says they will put up to 75 people in the water for each 1-hour session. Basic math says, if the numbers above hold, surfers will get about 12 waves in each one-hour session.
As we learn more about the true capacity of full-size Wavegarden Cove installations, the productivity numbers may adjust downward due to settling or operational breaks between sets. However, as you can see in the image on the right below, DSRT Surf appears to be planning multiple surf zones based on wave reformation. If that proves to be true it will allow each wave to be ridden by more than one customer, which will increase the waves ridden per surfer per hour.
