🏄♂️🌊 Waco Surf — Frequently Asked Questions ☀️
What technology powers the waves? 🏖️
Waco Surf runs PerfectSwell® by American Wave Machines — a programmable system producing consistent, ocean‑like waves for all levels.
Do sessions sell out?
Yes. Prime slots (weekends, holidays, mornings/evenings) go fast. Use SurfSessionFinder alerts to catch cancellations and new releases.
What should I bring?
- Boards for your target session (shortboard for Advanced/Expert; mid‑length or soft‑top for Beginner/Intermediate)
- Wetsuit/rash guard per season, leash, wax
- Ear protection if you’re sensitive 🤙
Are there lefts and rights? 🌪️
Yes — programmers alternate and mix settings. Specialty programs can add wedges, barrels or air sections (when scheduled).
Can I book lessons? 📚
Yes — check the official Waco Surf site for current lessons and coaching. Use our alerts for private coaching windows when available.
Any safety rules? 🦺
Follow staff instructions, queue rules and impact‑zone etiquette. Life‑jacket rules apply for non‑surf use; foils/SUPs are restricted unless pre‑approved in private hires.
