Eisbach Surf Wave Still Missing After Clean-Up as City Investigates

Local surfers warn of low flow, advising people to stay out of the water.

Overview

  • Following a two-week Bachauskehr and a planned Friday restart with new lighting, the wave failed to build and the spot is currently unsurfable.
  • The Munich surf association IGSM cautions that currents appear altered and potentially hazardous, urging people not to enter the water.
  • Local measurements showed the water level dropping from about 140 cm to 121 cm over the weekend, well below the roughly 150 cm surfers call ideal.
  • Surfers point to possible causes such as removed sediment during cleaning or disrupted inflow from the Isar at the Praterwehr, though nothing has been confirmed.
  • The city’s building department says it is working on the issue, and CSU/FW city council leaders are demanding rapid clarification and remediation from the Baureferat and Stadtwerke.
