Wipe Out is a Dot Records album credited to The Surfaris, released in 1963. It contains their best known song "Wipe Out". It turned out that only two tracks, "Wipe Out" and "Surfer Joe" were actually played by The Surfaris, therefore repressings were titled Wipe Out and Surfer Joe and Other Popular Selections by Other Instrumental Groups. The remaining tracks were played by members of The Challengers plus other musicians. The Surfaris were signed to Decca Records, and their first album on that label was called Play (Decca DL 4470).

Dot released a single from this album in July 1965: "You Can't Sit Down", backed with "Surfer Joe", catalog number Dot 16757.
