DSRT Surf

DSRT Surf is a surf destination in Palm Desert, set among golf courses with the desert mountains as its backdrop. Its Wavegarden Cove lagoon is designed to produce repeatable waves for everyone from first-time surfers to experienced riders, creating a place to learn, practice, or spend the day by the water.

  • Surfing: Beginner, intermediate, and high-performance wave sessions, with lessons and coaching.
  • Beyond the waves: Pickleball courts, a skate area, a resort pool, and a jacuzzi.
  • For spectators: Beach-pass access is planned for visitors who want to watch the surfing and relax without booking a surf session.
  • Plan your visit: Check the official DSRT Surf website for opening updates, available amenities, and reservations.
