Beach and Tide Conditions
Recommended
tide for kitesurfing is
Low Tide
.
Alagadi, Cyprus is a
Flat, Chop, Small waves and Medium waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Medium size.
Large, sandy beach with plenty of room except for Sundays in summer when locals come down to swim. Avoid kiting at these times or exercise extreme caution as very few kiters in this area so people become fascinated and may walk straight into your window to have a chat! Most of the time you will have the place to yourself. Also, sea turtles nest on this large beach so please keep well clear of cages set up by conservationists and do not insert anything deep into the sand during summer months. Although water quality is very good and appears crystal clear the Med is subject to heavy pollution and consequently beaches can be littered heavily in winter months when council do not clean up so please do your part and take your litter home.
Small waves in sideshore westerly (prevailing direction in summer) with flat sections in between increasing in size with wind strength. Nice port tack kickers on way out in a westerly. Big waves and wind on/sideon in winter from the right (north or northeasterly).

No rules just common sense and PLEASE respect the local turtle conservation project. Make sure you launch downwind of small rocky spit in middle of beach for obvious reasons, nice and flat too. This shore is the breeding place for rare turtles! Not the best spot to surf or kite because you disturb some unique wildlife.
