Surf Snowdonia

Welcome to the Surf Snowdonia Wavegarden; a revolutionary world-first inland surf lagoon and the UK’s most compelling outdoor adventure destination for you, your friends and the whole family to enjoy.

Visit the world's first publicly accessible surf lagoon in Snowdonia with waves ranging from 2m to 0.5m for beginners, in a 300m long lagoon.
An ideal place to finally get round to learning to surf or if you're an accomplished surfer, a chance to experience something new. Heading up the team of instructors is former British Junior Team coach and multiple Welsh and British champion, Jo Dennison.

But the awe-inspiring Wavegarden isn’t the only reason to come to Surf Snowdonia. You’re going to love our totally addictive Crash & Splash water-based obstacle lagoon – and ‘blobbing’ – as well as our surf-side café bar, coffee shops and retail space. And our 50-metre glass-fronted viewing gallery will let you get right up close to the surf action without even getting wet!

Set as we are in the majestic Conwy Valley in North Wales, we’re lucky enough to have made our home amongst the rivers, mountains, woodlands and wildlife of Snowdonia.

It’s a place where you’ll find some of Britain’s most dramatic and intriguing landscapes, many of which have barely changed since the last Ice Age. Hard to see how you could be anything but uplifted and inspired by it.

We’ve built Surf Snowdonia on a former industrial site – an aluminium rolling and casting works which closed in 2007. Before we set to work on the site it was a derelict, brownfield wasteland with little prospect for development – until we came along with the idea of our Wavegarden Surf Lagoon that is… Over the course of our twelve-month construction phase we completely cleaned up the site and removed over a hundred years’ worth of industrial waste. And now we’re looking pretty good on it, we have to say.
