Cyprus - Going off the surf map

Luring us brave traveling surfers back to the aqua blue Mediterranean is the island of Cyprus. Like many of its Mediterranean neighbors, Cyprus is a hit or miss surf destination; amazing when it’s on, but flat like a lake when storms and necessary pressure systems are not in play.

As you can see in the above clip, the boys from O’Neill lucked into some solid surf in the inland sea. As they explain in the video, it’s a waiting game, where one has to pay close attention to the storm and weather patterns and be prepared to drive around a check a lot of different points and coves. Unfortunately for any future homegrown surfing population, the Fronchies name-dropped each spot that they surfed around the island.

A little bit of poking around online will get you plenty of info on where to check and when to go. Be flexible, and be prepared to get completely skunked. Such is life on the inland sea. Most importantly, get out there, go off the surf map and go explore.
