URBNSURF Sydney

URBNSURF Sydney opened in May 2024 at Sydney Olympic Park as Australia's second surf park, run by the same company as URBNSURF Melbourne. It uses a Wavegarden Cove lagoon with The Point, where hour-long sessions run named settings from gentle to barrelling, and The Bays, a shallow whitewater zone for lessons and beginners. On site are a leisure pool, the RAFI restaurant, the casual Sandy's, and a Rip Curl surf shop at the entrance.

Point sessions are sold by named setting, the same menu as Melbourne: Cruiser, Progressive Turns and Progressive Plus for newer green-wave surfers; Intermediate, Intermediate Plus and Intermediate Barrels; Advanced Turns, Advanced One and Advanced; and Expert, a full hour of the biggest, most technical barrels. Pro Turns runs only in winter, capped at 12 surfers per side. Every surfer gets 10 to 12 waves a session and paddles out against the machine. Flowstate cameras film every wave of every Point session. In The Bays, knee-high whitewater suits first lessons, softboard practice and bodyboarding.

Sydney surfers who want repeatable waves on a schedule, and families and mixed groups, since non-surfers can use the leisure pool with a $10 Entry Pass. First-timers start with a 90-minute lesson in The Bays, and Surf In The Bays is the lowest-cost way back into the water after it.

All prices in AUD. Point sessions from Cruiser to Advanced are $119 Monday to Thursday and $125 Friday to Sunday off-peak (up from $114 and $119 when read on 27 September), rising to $125 and $129 in the peak season from 15 December to 26 January. Expert is $165 off-peak. Surf In The Bays, whitewater practice on a softboard, is $39 to $45, and the 90-minute Beginner Learn to Surf lesson is $109 to $124 with wetsuit and softboard included. Board hire starts at $15 and wetsuit hire at $19 per session. Multipacks bring the per-surf price to $107 to $110 (a 10-pack is $1,075 and a 20-pack $2,125), and memberships run from $185 a month (Aqua, two surfs) to $769 (Platinum, eight surfs), per the compare-pricing page on 23 October 2026. Sydney runs about $5 to $15 above Melbourne across the board. Read from urbnsurf.com on 27 September 2026.

Arrive 45 minutes before your session to check in, collect hire gear and make the safety briefing at the lifeguard tower 15 minutes before the hour. Complete the waiver online beforehand and bring a towel, as URBNSURF does not rent them. Parking is next to the entrance on Hill Road; ticket holders registered on the PayStay app get two hours free and can prepay for more. The park opens seven days a week in summer, from 6am until late, with shorter winter hours.
