Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Kappari
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 500 m out (1 in 48). The sea is about 17°C in February, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For windsurfing at intermediate level the best months are usually February, November and December, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Ayia Napa. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot, 1 wind sports spot and 4 dive sites.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
