Surf Lakes International will soon open the exclusive man-made lake, where riders can surf up to 2,400 waves an hour, near Yeppoon, Queensland.
Surfers will have the chance to test out the pool's “5 wave technology”, which produces five different levels of waves simultaneously.
The quintet of breakers vary in of difficulty, size, and length and are colour-coded so beginner surfers through to moderate and advanced wave riders can get the most out of their experience.
Surf Lake's “5 wave” tech creates the most breaks in a man-made pool with ten separate waves in total – four on the left hand side, four on the right and two beginner waves.
The wave pool relies on a giant plunger at its centre, which generates one pulse every six seconds to send the water rippling in all directions.
The plunger is capable of creating 80 rideable waves per minute, or 4800 waves per hour, according to Magicseaweed but for now will be kept at half capacity.
Up to 240 surfers an hour of varying abilities can enjoy the experience, avoid the need to run separate sessions for new boards and seasoned wave riders.
The variety of waves can accommodate for a range of watercraft including, knee boards, short boards, long boards, stand-up paddleboarding and surf skis.
Advanced and expert waves are suitable for short boards and knee boards.
Australia's first man-made surfing wave pool was founded by Aaron Trevis, part of the Surf Lakes team, news.com.au reports.
PhD engineer and Surf Lakes Director Chris Hawley oversaw the build and design of the pool.
The project was funded by private investors and finance expert and fellow Director Reuben Buchanan.
Trevis said: “After years of dreaming, designing, testing and building, to see those first few waves role across the reefs was quite a sight.”
