the surf is quite consistent here, waves up to 10-12ft, even in summer

surfed 2ft overhead last weekend

you just need to know where and when to go

on average we surf 3 days a week

get in a car and explore, you will find waves you wouldnt beleive

You surfed 2 foot waves?

I'm happy there are some waves in Cyprus!

Where are the best spots?

Happy new year to all CF mebers from Toronto, Canada.

I am working on a prototype machine using the wave energy (onshore).
I am looking for a spot where waves are splashing into rocks, not a beach.
Where can I test this? I need the biggest waves possible.
Thanks for your responses in advance.

You can get some dramatic waves hitting rocks by Aphrodite's Rock. But, if you are keen on the Polis area then drive along the coastal road from Polis towards Kokkina and there are many cliff edges with rocky coastline where the waves are particularly energetic this time of the year. Even at Pomos Bay you'll get waves a few metres high.

Cyprus has surf?

Can you surf, because I don't see too much activity that can wipeout an Aussie surf junkie?

I've told you before. We know an Aussie who goes over to Cyprus regularly to snorkel, dive, do water sports etc because he's fed up of deadly jelly-fish, sharks, stingrays etc killing everyone who treads more than 6 feet of water off Australia ...

2ft overhead is about 8ft

but some days yes, i ride little 2ft waves on my stand-up paddleboard

Ha ha ha ha waves in Cyprus. you are nuts!. The greatest renewable resource in CYprus is Solar. Non photovoltaic & even standard photovolatic electricity generation would be much more suited for Cyprus.

But it's much more expensive to install

Gee whiz, I don't know how I survived all these years!

Oracle, you also know an Aussie who has an imaginary friend called Fifi! Cypriots are renowned for their delusions, so thank Aphrodite for people like me who will tear down these delusions for the sake of reality!

Your Aussie friend must be stupid, and you must be even more stupid for believing him.

BTW, I am still waiting for a rundown on Epictetus' Discourses. You honestly have me intrigued.

(For your information, if it were true that Cyprus had better beaches and coasts than Australia, then I would be sincerely very happy and proud)
