Historical data

Location guide

Potima Bay, located on the beautiful island of Cyprus, provides an overall adventurous surfing experience with the combined beauty of the Mediterranean landscape. The surf here is considerably affected by weather conditions and the time of year. During the summer months from June to August, Potima Bay generally produces smaller, more manageable waves due to the Mediterranean's calmer conditions. Therefore, it's the perfect time for beginners to start mastering their surf skills under the warm Cypriot sun. The weather conditions are comfortable, and the sea is welcoming. Moreover, the sea temperature is also quite pleasant, often reaching into the mid-20s (Celsius), and the frequent sunshine provides an idyllic environment for spending hours in the water. However, during the winter months, roughly from late November to early February, Potima Bay is generally considered the surfer's time. Here, you'll often see more experienced surfers tackling the larger swells, pushed up by the intense storm fronts experienced in the Mediterranean during the colder season. The sea can sometimes reach double overhead conditions during strong northerly or easterly wind swells, making it quite an adventure for veteran wave riders. The water temperature drops during these months, requiring a good quality wetsuit for maximum enjoyment. In terms of the overall surfing conditions, the iconic bay is encompassed by a semi-circular sandy stretch, making it safe and comfortable for surfers to get into and out of the surf. There's typically a lack of underwater rocks or dangerous currents in the immediate surf area. Still, it's always advisable to stay alert for unexpected circumstances. Additionally, the wind direction is often side-onshore, which gives the waves a decent shape. The waves of Potima Bay cater to surfers of all levels, from novice to experienced. The picturesque views and the exhilarating joy of riding the Mediterranean waves make this bay one of the quintessential spots for surfing enthusiasts. From its warm summer breezes to its winter swells, Potima Bay consistently offers surfers of all experiences a worthwhile visit and a memorable ride.
