Stoked: Core Houston surfers (and the rest of the city) to get big ass Wavegarden Cove

Beach Street Development went public this week with the HTX Surf project in Northeast Houston. The project will feature a Wavegarden Cove set within 15 acres of surrounding amenities.

Houston has a core surf community with most surfers opting to go to the Gulf Coast for the occasional session or driving a few hours to the Waco pool. HTX Surf will sit 25 minutes from downtown next door to a 25-acre stocked fishing lake.

“HTX Surf will be located in Generation Park, a forward-thinking master-planned development in Northeast Houston,” the company said. “It is going to make Houston, Texas the go-to surfing and action sport destination in America.”

Developers said that the Cove design will offer waves that peel the length of two football fields

The company said the development will be anchored by waves that peel the length of two football fields, and be surrounded by international dining options, a pump track, training and wellness facilities, music and event lawns, a leisure pool, beach club, and a membership club.

“We create a relaxed, oceanfront environment that is guaranteed to feature highly on the must-visit lists of surfers and beach enthusiasts. In addition to being a place where friends and family can surf perfect waves both big and small, HTX Surf will literally bring a beautiful beach and resort experience to the center of Houston, Texas.”
