Wave Pools and Surf Parks | Key Performance Metrics

The Criteria for Determining the Quality Level of Surfable Waves (1-10 Score)

• Wave Height (Capable range)
• Wave Consistency (Maximum waves per minute)
• Successive wave turbulence (Glassy, Bumpy, Boiling?)
• Peel Rate
• Closeouts? (Intentional or Non-Intentional? Can add value if intentional)
• Maximum attainable board speed. (How is this determined?)
  • Size & Shape of the face of the wave
  • Weight of the surfer
  • Surfboard Characteristics
  • Water buoyancy? (Salinity levels? Fresh vs. Salt Water?)
• Tube sections? How much is rideable in the tube? How deep can you get? How wide is the barrel?
• How long is the surfable/rideable wall of the wave? Steepness angle of the face of the wave?
• Total ride length of wave.
• Increased overall surf park/wave pool value for availability of both rights and lefts consecutively.
