Kitesurfing and Windsurfing in Cyprus 2025

In Cyprus, you can enjoy warm water year-round and occasional strong winds

Best time: May–October (all year round)

The island of the Mediterranean, Cyprus has excellent conditions for water sports, including windsurfing and kitesurfing. These sports are getting more popular every year. Summer is considered to be the peak season for kite- and windsurfing, with westerly winds blowing the strongest from May to October. However, there are many days during summer months that are still and breathless. Moreover, summer is a beach season in Cyprus, thus some spots tend to be too crowded. Many professional kitesurfers in Cyprus prefer fall and winter months when east winds can blow at some 17–23 knots. The best time for windsurfing and kitesurfing in Cyprus also depends on the specific location.
