Hazards

SANDBAR Open, exposed sandy beach — this stretch catches storm swell better than the more sheltered Paphos town beaches.
RIP W/NW swell builds a beach-break rip on bigger storm days — paddle wide of the darker channels.
LOCALS Small, welcoming Paphos-area surf scene — a handful of regulars know this beach well.
OFFSHORE WIND Best with E/NE wind blowing offshore off this west-facing coast.

Local knowledge

Peak season Nov–Mar · W/NW swell · The most storm-exposed beach near Paphos
Swell key W/NW swell · Open sandy beach, catches storm energy well · Best with offshore E/NE wind
