About Fig Tree
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (53°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (233°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 400 m out (1 in 39). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 17°C in February, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Ayia Napa, 6.2 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 wind sports spots and 4 dive sites.
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
