HM03 Surf will be given to you by Wally’s father after you beat Gym Leader Norman in Petalburg City. Since Norman is the fifth Gym Leader in Hoenn, you’ll need the first 4 Gym badges before you’re able to challenge him.
Surf is arguably the most useful HM in the game, as it allows you to travel across any body of water.
Location
After earning the fourth Gym Badge, you’ll be able to challenge the fifth Gym back at Petalburg City immediately. You’ll be able to use HM03 Surf when you defeat Gym Leader Norman, who happens to be your father.
Petalburg City’s gym is hard to miss as it’s just north of their Pokémon Center.
Norman will walk you out of the gym after you win the battle.
You’ll get to meet Wally and his father, who will reward you with HM03 Surf for helping out Wally earlier in the game.
