A diamond necklace played the pawn Hand in hand some drummed along To a handsome mannered baton A blind class aristocracy Back through the opera glass you see The pit and the pendulum drawn Columnated ruins domino Canvass the town and brush the backdrop Are you sleeping Hung velvet overtaken me Dim chandelier awaken me To a song dissolved in the dawn The music hall a costly bow The music all is lost for now To a muted trumpeter swan Columnated ruins domino Canvass the town and brush the backdrop Are you sleeping Brother John Dove nested towers the hour was Strike the street quicksilver moon Carriage across the fog Two-Step to lamp lights cellar tune The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne The glass was raised the fired-roast The fullness of the wine the dim last toasting While at port adieu or die A choke of grief heart hardened I Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry Surf's Up Aboard a tidal wave Come about hard and join The young and often spring you gave I heard the word Wonderful thing A children's song Child child child child child A child is the father of the man Child child child child child A child is the father of the man A children's song Have you listened as they played Their song is love And the children know the way Child child child child child Child child child child child Child child child child child Child child child child child

A música foi originalmente concebida para o álbum inacabado Smile, que foi guardado em gaveta em 1967, e só foi concluída anos depois como faixa de encerramento do homônimo de 1971
Apesar do título, a canção não tem relação com o surf, sendo uma jogada de palavras que simboliza o grupo abandonando sua imagem anterior
A letra retrata um homem em uma sala de concertos vivenciando um despertar espiritual e rendendo-se a Deus, com a segunda parte imaginada como uma canção infantil
Musicalmente, a obra foi composta como uma peça estruturada em dois movimentos, que modula de tonalidade várias vezes e evita a resolução harmônica convencional
Em 2011, a equipe da revista Mojo votou "Surf's Up" como a maior música de todos os tempos dos Beach Boys
Quando lançada como single em novembro de 1971, acompanhada pelo lado B "Don't Go Near the Water", a faixa fracassou em entrar nas paradas musicais
