The first time I saw them was around Christmastime and I was just stunned by the sight of surfers in the middle of a snow-filled park.

The linked Stern article[1] has a before picture showing how the wave used to look.
I'm not that good with hydrodynamics, but since they say nothing structural changed during the cleanup, could it be how quickly they brought the flow back up?

Hope they can bring the wave back soon, it’s such a special part of Munich’s spirit and surfing history.
Watching surfers in the middle of this park was one of my favorite things to do in Munich. What a bummer. I'd be surprised if they had any luck at all restoring it.
