The Surf Centre
The Silvertown surf centre will be a world first; a totally unique facility
offering perfect surf waves 365 days a year.
The finger docks in front and to the left of Biota! will be opened up to
create the UK’s first artificial surf experience.
A specially designed enclosure, holding almost 7,000 cubic metres of
clean, filtered and heated water forms the basis of this unique environment.
Waves up to 1.8m high will roll 100 metres down the dock, before breaking
out on London’s first silver sand beach in front of Biota! and a major public
space known as the ‘Esplanade’.
The centre is expected to attract over 100,000 surfers and body-boarders a year
along with five times as many spectators.
Waves of all shapes and sizes can be created for all levels of ability
from total novice to professional surfer.
