- ✗No combustion-engine boats on the Staffelsee (state lake); electric boats only via a waiting list at the Landratsamt Garmisch-Partenkirchen. schloesser.bayern.de
- iNot confirmed: No official kite rule found. Shores are mostly wooded or protected, so there are hardly any legal kite launch spots; windsurf in west wind. oaseforum.de
💨Wind
🔥 Thermal: Thermal similar to Walchensee but sheltered by trees, little wind (old forum report). Usually from N, strongest around 16:00.
FoilFlow checks the thermal conditions every day (sun strength, wind aloft, Föhn, Bise and the lake's own pressure rules) and shows when it is likely.
Forecasts from several weather models (e.g. ICON, AROME, HARMONIE) and live measuring stations nearby are in the app.
