 Wave pool - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wave pools replicate the movement of the ocean one of two ways, depending on the size of the pool and the size of wave desired.
In small wave pools, pressurized air is blown onto the surface of the water, or a paddle creates force in the water, creating small ripple-like waves.
In large wave pools, a large amount of water is quickly allowed into the far end of the pool, forcing the water to even out, generating a sizeable wave.

 Gabrielson Break - A New Approach to Wave Pool Design
Figure 5 shows the outer top of the pool wall, with the area of the primary break and the area of the secondary break higher than other parts of the wall.
Unless a standing wave is created at some distance out from the pool wall, there will be no lip on the wave except for the area immediately adjacent to the breaking section.
If it is possible to keep the top of the water wall thick enough to avoid catching a skag on the pool wall, yet thin enough to allow the formation of a standing wave without significant water jet use, than the ultimate wave pool is possible.

 AL6 Wave Pool
The requester was then accepted and the wave source was moved into position off to the right side of the pool of the water to ensure that no mirror effect of the bumps would be seen on the water.
Where the drop hit the surface of the water, a second wave source was added to produce a ring of waves that would flow outward from the impact and gradually diminish over time.
The main trick involved with the wave was to match the expansion of the rings (maximum and minimum ranges) with the phase of the waves to allow the waves to expand at the same rate as the phase moves the wave outward, which is what happens in real life.
