Germany's surf scene is small but passionate. The island of Sylt in the North Sea is the country's primary ocean surf spot, catching wind-generated swells that produce fun, fast beach breaks, particularly during autumn and winter storms. The Baltic coast around Fehmarn and Rugen offers lighter waves in a sheltered setting. Inland, Munich's Eisbach river wave has become one of the most famous standing waves in the world, creating a unique urban surf culture. Water temperatures are cold, dropping below 5C in winter on both coasts, but German surfers embrace the conditions with enthusiasm. For visiting surfers, Germany offers a chance to experience a vibrant, alternative surf culture in a country not traditionally associated with the sport.
