A well-built urban Citywave that survived an ownership change but lost its walk-up access. Worth it for committed DFW members; everyone else watches from the restaurant.
The Surf Lounge at PopStroke is the Citywave standing-wave venue at the Grandscape district in The Colony, north of Dallas. It opened in 2024 as Fireside Surf, Texas's first stationary wave, and was taken over by Tiger Woods' PopStroke Entertainment Group, reopening on March 5, 2026 as The Surf Lounge. Dining is open to the public; wave access is now limited to Surf Members.
The 2,000-square-foot Citywave sheet wave is unchanged from the Fireside era: adjustable deep-water flow ridden on real finned boards, from learn-to-surf settings to fast walls for experienced riders. Sessions run under the PopStroke membership program alongside the venue's mini-golf courses and poolside dining.
DFW locals willing to buy a Surf Membership for regular reps, and groups mixing dinner, mini golf, and wave time. Walk-up public surfing is no longer offered, so casual visitors should plan around the membership requirement.
Surf access requires a PopStroke Surf Membership; pricing is published through PopStroke's site and was not independently verifiable at the time of writing. Food and beverage service is open to the public during operating hours.
Check PopStroke's Grandscape page for Surf Lounge hours and membership details before visiting. Non-members can still eat, drink, and watch.
