A surf wave generator which can repeatedly produce and launch singular waves across the surface of a swimming pool. The waves are produced in the swimming pool by an adjacent water-filled caisson which is coupled into the swimming pool at the base of the pool and caisson. Except for the opening into the pool, the caisson is sealed, and a charge of high-pressure air is vented into the upper portion, forcing the water from the chamber into the swimming pool in a single forceful motion. Through the use of a baffle, the expelled water is directed within the swimming pool to produce a surf wave propagating across the surface of the swimming pool away from the wave-generating caisson. The surf wave may be repeatably generated without synchronization to the previously generated waves. The surf wave generator can also be used in combination with other wave-generating systems to produce a complete repertoire of wave motions.
