- Least windy part of Fuerteventura
On my last vacation in Fuerteventura, I spent 10 days on this beautiful island staying in 3 different places: 4 days in Corralejo, 3 days in Caleta de Fuste, 3 days in Morro del Jable, so I could see nearby attractions without driving too much from one place to another and assess the climatic conditions in the various villages.
I advise you to look for accommodation in the area you see on the map: Caleta de Fuste, where you are most likely to shelter from the wind even in the beach.

- Is Caleta de Fuste windy?
Caleta de Fuste is windy but it has a "conca beach: playa del Castillo" and is fairly sheltered. The wind is present in some days, not constantly. In the windiest days, people lie down and sunbathe next the wall surrounding the beach.
There are no waves in this shelter beach so children can stay on the shore to swim and play.
Is the wind cold in Fuerteventura?
No, the wind is not cold in Fuerteventura.I went to Fuerteventura in January and February and I can't say that the wind was cold but, when it got up, it was annoying.
The best months to stay in Fuerteventura are: mid September, October, first day of November.
In September and October the wind decrease. In this period, especially if you stay on the east coast of Fuerteventura you should not be overwhelmed by the wind.
These seem to be the best months as a climate, temperatures, like a low wind.
Yes it is, Costa Calma is the windiest part of Fuerteventura.
In spite of the name, "Costa Calma" is a windy place. In the South area (Sotavento, Jandia) the wind is very annoying in summer season and it reaches its peak in August.
In Costa Calma you can find centers for windsurfing and kitesurfing.

Is Jandia windy?
Yes it is, Costa Calma, located in Jandia, is the windiest part of Fuerteventura. I visited "Sotavento beach", in the middle of winter in two consecutive days: the first day there was no wind and I took a pleasant stroll. The next day I ran away after 15 minutes: the wind was very strong.
July and August are the windiest months in Fuerteventura. This is the period in which the world windsurfing championship takes place.
During the other months the wind decreases, or rather, is alternated by windy days and days when there is only a slight breeze.
The wind power is around 10 to 30km/h on average.
If you do not like the strong wind and are planning to stay in Fuerteventura in summer, it is better to avoid the south-east area, even if Sotavento beach is one of the most beautiful of the island.
Also the western area of Fuerteventura is windiest than the other coast.
In general, the east coast of Fuerteventura is the least windy area, except for Sotavento and Costa Calma. The major part of the beaches in Fuerteventura are sandy.
If you choose the villages enclosed in a bay you will have more chances to be sheltered from the winds. So I advise you to stay in one of these locations:
It is better to stay in Corralejo or Caleta de Fuste.
Caleta de Fuste it is a place full of English tourists. If you travel with children, it is better stay in this village: October is the best month to stay here, the sea water is a bit warmer compared to previous months.
