Getting there
DSRT Surf is at 105 Wave Drive, Palm Desert, CA, USA (next to Desert Willow Golf Resort).
The technology
DSRT Surf runs on Wavegarden Cove, a electro-mechanical system from Aizarnazabal. The Cove uses 46+ independent electro-mechanical modules along one wall. Each module pushes a submerged panel; sequencing the pushes creates a travelling swell that peels down the reef bay. Software controls the panel firing pattern, so a Cove can shift from a mellow Waikiki roller to an overhead barrel between waves.
Developed by Beach Street Development on land adjacent to the City of Palm Desert's Desert Willow Golf Resort, DSRT Surf broke ground in 2023. The project pairs a full Wavegarden Cove reef bay with a Trilogy resort hotel, villas, restaurants and a pro shop, and opened to the public with a soft opening in September 2026.
