Central Texas may be far from the coast, but Austin Surf Club, taking shape near the Bastrop County line, will bring an endless supply of waves to the region.

The details

Arizona-based Discovery Land Co. and professional surfer Kelly Slater are building 140 condominiums, a brewery, a restaurant and a clubhouse across more than 330 acres—a site that will also feature a 2,220-square-foot surf basin.

The development broke ground on Jan. 2, and was at one point redistributing 11,850 yards per day of dirt from the surf basin to areas where the residential amenities and condominiums are being built, according to Discover Land Co.

Zooming in


The brewery and restaurant are scheduled to finish construction by Dec. 1, according to filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

Both projects are renovations and expansions of existing facilities.

The scope of work for the 5,740-square-foot brewery includes:


  • Renovation of the existing bar and covered patio area


  • An addition of 375 square feet for storage




The scope of work for the 4,435-square-foot restaurant, meanwhile, includes:


  • A dining room expansion of 1,000 square feet


  • A prep zone expansion of 2,750 square feet


  • A 1,000-square-foot kitchen renovation




Also of note


Developers listed several ways that Austin Surf Club will be mindful of its environment.

Water will be reclaimed through a retention pond that will hold “several million gallons” of collected rain, while trees from around the site will be relocated throughout the development when landscaping begins, according to Discovery Land Co.
