Potima

Potima is a beach break located on the southern coast of Cyprus facing south toward the Mediterranean Sea. The spot features a long sandy beach with gradual water depth, backed by extensive agricultural land and scattered residential development. The water body is open Mediterranean with light swell averaging 0.80m. This location suits beginners and intermediate kiters due to shallow water conditions and gentle wave characteristics. However, the spot has significant limitations: wind reliability is very low at 4.8%, with average winds only 6.2 knots, making consistent sessions difficult. Best conditions occur with easterly or westerly winds providing side-shore coverage. The agricultural landscape inland suggests potential water quality variations from seasonal runoff. Infrastructure nearby indicates moderate human activity. Water temperature averages 21.1°C, suitable for year-round activity with appropriate gear. The spot works best during periods of stronger pressure systems that generate more reliable wind flow across the Mediterranean basin.
