Biggest waves in Cyprus, where?

Postby georgios100 » Wed Jan 06, 2010 7:54 pm

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.

An average wave height of 1m is sufficient for my purpose. I was thinking more of the area of Polis since the northern exposure might produce more waves than other areas. Anyone living in Polis could advise?

You can get such waves only when the weather is bad.

Easy! Just stand a meter or two behind Bananiot, while wearing your gas mask…

Try Scotland.

Oracle should be able to advise.

They have fantastic beaches too that put those of Cyprus to shame. Only problem is the rotten temperatures which even the hot air coming out of O's mouth cannot temper. Sorry O, couldn't resist this dig.

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.
