Indoor Surfing at Wellenwerk: Berlin’s Only Indoor Surf Wave
Never landlocked again: a standing wave, every level, any weather.
Most people carve their first turns in their very first session. Falling is part of it, the water is soft, and your coach is right there with you. All you need: swimwear. That’s it.

How the Wave Works
The wave at Wellenwerk runs as a citywave: a continuous, standing flow of water creates a consistent wave whose height and flow speed can be adjusted steplessly. That means the same facility works for your very first attempt to stand as well as pro-level tricks, depending on the level it’s set to. The water stays around 27°C all year round, and the hall is open year-round, whatever the weather.
Every session follows the same principle: warm-up and a short briefing, then surfing in a group with a coach, finishing with a video review of your best waves. Board and lycra are included, and at 27°C water temperature you won’t need a wetsuit.
Want to learn in a structured way instead of booking individual sessions? For getting started, there are Surf Courses with a theory and practice part, and for focused training, check the Training Sessions on the advanced page. If you come regularly, a multi-session pass saves you money. Details on the advanced page.
Frequently Asked Questions About Indoor Surfing
Do I need to know how to surf already?
No. In the Beginner Session, a support bar helps you find your first stand on the board, and a coach is with you the whole time.
What happens if I fall?
Falling is part of it, it’s completely normal and happens to everyone, even advanced surfers. The water is soft, there are no sharp edges, and your coach stands right next to you for the whole session.
What if I’m not sure which level is right for me?
The three level pages (Beginner, Advanced, Kids) describe wave height and requirements in detail, and if you have questions, the team is happy to help before you book.
How warm is the water?
The water stays around 27°C all year round, so you can surf in any weather and any season.
How does a session work?
Warm-up and briefing, then surfing in a group with a coach, finishing with a video review. You’ll get a board and lycra on site.
What’s the minimum age and weight to take part?
For all sessions: minimum age 6 and at least 30kg. Under-18s can come on their own if they bring a signed liability waiver from a parent or guardian.

One Session Isn’t Enough?
Come more often and surf for less: a multi-session pass gets you several sessions at a better price, freely combinable across all levels and valid for 3 years. It pays off from your second session onward.
