The Wave Organ, located on a small harbor (Jetty), is a wave-activated acoustic sculpture that produces the natural sound of waves. Former Exploratorium artists-in-residence Peter Richards and George Gonzalez created the wave organ in 1986 to amplify and showcase the natural sounds made by water and waves.
The Wave Organ sounds best at high tide. Nearby Crissy Field is an excellent spot for hiking and biking.
- The Wave Organ is surrounded by stunning views of the San Francisco skyline and the Golden Gate Bridge.
- It encompasses 25 organ pipes made of PVC and concrete located at various elevations within site, allowing for the rise and fall of the tides.
- The impact of waves against the pipe ends and the subsequent movement of the water in and out of the pipes creates a subtle sound.
- It requires visitors to become sensitized to music from the wave organ and, simultaneously, to the environment's music.
