Stay Warm, Surf Longer: Choosing the Right Wetsuit in Cyprus

Whether you’re windsurfing, wing-foiling, SUPing, or e-foiling at Mackenzie Beach, one thing makes a huge difference in comfort and performance — your wetsuit.

Cyprus is known for its warm, crystal-clear water, but even here, the wind and early-season chill can catch you off guard. The right wetsuit lets you extend your season, stay comfortable, and ride longer — no matter the weather.

Why You Need a Wetsuit in Cyprus

Even with sea temperatures around 18–28°C, you’ll feel the difference once the wind picks up. A good wetsuit:

• Keeps your core temperature stable, reducing fatigue.
• Protects from UV rays and wind chill.
• Adds a light layer of impact protection for beginners or foilers.
