Sydney’s beloved surf scene is about to get a whole lot better. The Hills Shire Council yesterday approved a new 45-acre surf park and resort set to give locals access to perfect barrels year-round. Wisemans Surf Lodge will launch to the public in 2022, opening up a new world for surf fans, right on the Hawkesbury River.

This isn’t just any old waterpark, either. Australia’s first resort-style surfing destination, Wisemans Surf Lodge boasts a wave pool roughly the size of four football fields stacked. If that doesn’t get your primed for an Aussie summer, maybe the 9-hole golf course, 54 hotel suites, restaurant, bar and riverfront access might.
“As a Sydney surfer, we don’t have the access to consistent, high-quality waves all year round like other parts of Australia. Advances in wave-making technology can completely change that reality,” co-founder John Du Vernet said.
“What we’ll create at Wisemans is a solution to access the types of waves we’d often have to travel overseas for, waves we dream about. We’ve focused on creating a space that thinks about everything beyond the pool, even for the non-surfer, within a resort-like facility in a magical, and somewhat secret part of Sydney.”
The Wisemans Surf Lodge wave pool runs of Surfloch technology, offering, 2.5-metre waves on the main peak every 10–12 seconds. With more details set to be revealed next year, here’s hoping we can get perfectly barrelled sooner rather than later.
