Every PerfectSwell Surf Park
8 installations across 4 countries, 5 open and 3 bookable by the public. Counts and prices come straight from our park records, so this list changes as the parks do.
American Wave Machines does not publish pricing. Installations range too widely, from a 2-acre pool at Waco Surf to 220-meter pools in Brazil, for one figure to be meaningful.
PerfectSwell is a pneumatic system whose software sequences the wave-generating chambers so waves run parallel to the generating wall rather than away from it, which is the core of AWM's patent group. The sequencing can be changed between sets, so one session can mix different wave shapes rather than repeat a single setting.
PerfectSwell is built by American Wave Machines, founded in 2000 in the Solana Beach, California backyard of Bruce McFarland. AWM's first product, the SurfStream standing wave, was tested as a prototype in 2004 and has since opened at more than a dozen parks. Work for the Aquarium of the Pacific in 2007 led to the core invention behind PerfectSwell, which AWM introduced in 2018 at Waco Surf in Texas.
