Overview
- The world‑famous Eisbach wave remains unsurfable following the routine Bachauskehr that lowered water and cleaned sediment from the channel.
- City departments and utilities are coordinating with the Wasserwirtschaftsamt, and the mayor’s office has declared restoring the wave a top priority.
- Officials plan to increase the Eisbach’s water supply on Wednesday as an immediate operational test to help the wave re-form.
- Surfers’ group IGSM proposed raising inflow to lift water levels and expressed optimism the wave could return quickly if the test works.
- Safety upgrades from the cleaning are in place, including new lighting, defined surfing hours from 5:30 to 22:00, and the option for the fire brigade to activate brighter illumination during emergencies.
