LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND

LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND

People often ask me which is the least windy Canary island in december, winter season, and tips to choose the least windy resort of Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote or Fueteventura especially if they travel with children.

The least windy Canaries Islands are Gran Canaria and Tenerife but only in certain specific areas.

The bad news is that all the Canary Islands are windy BUT there are places more sheltered by wind and with beaches suitable in every season especially in the winter months (December, January and February).

Let's find out together.

I do not love places too windy: the wind annoys me a lot. For this reason, during my trips to Canary Islands, I always stay in resort sheltered from the strong wind. A sea breeze is pleasant, and inevitable if you're on an island but I avoid the places where the wind raises the sand and gets into my eyes.

  • LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND: least windy area in Tenerife

The least windy area in Tenerife is in the South-East area the best resorts are Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas.

Las Vistas beach is ideal for the children: no strong winds, not even dangerous waves.

The least windy area of ​​Gran Canaria is enclosed in the municipality of Mogan which includes several villages and the best known are:

I did several trips to Lanzarote. The last one dedicated to the visit of Arrecife (the capital of the island), where the wind was so strong that it created waves so big that the coastal path to the Reducto beach has been closed. In a week I enjoyed 4 sunny days and 3 rainy days.

  • LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND: Is Fuerteventura windy?
Yes, Fuerteventura is windy. The windiest period is August. If you are looking for the least windy resort in Fuerteventura, you can stay in Caleta de Fuste (the beach is enclosed in a basin) or in the South, in Morro Jable (Jandia Peninsula, Pรกjara).

Morro Jable is windy but in case of strong wind, the staff make barriers to protect the sun umbrellas by the wind and sand storms. The beach is really amazing, long and large.

Fuerteventura is the island of surfing! So it must be windy otherwise it would not attract many fans. It is not an island that I recommend to people travelling with kids, but if you love the natural environments, the huge beaches without borders, you should go in Fuerteventura. The wind is a blessing for Fuerteventura because the sun is hot and the risk of burns is not uncommon.

  • LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND: temperatures

Usually the temperatures in the Canaries are about 25 degrees, but it happens (at the end of summer) that the temperatures increase due to the Calima (hot wind mixed to sand coming from Africa). The sky, usually blue, becomes blue-grey due to the sand carried by the wind. Fortunately they are sporadic episodes which last even 1 or 2 days. Although the sea temperature is not as mild as the Mediterranean Sea, it is pleasant to swim, especially if you live in northern Europe.

Playa del Ingles - Maspalomas beach


Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles have milder temperatures. This places are not always windy, depending by the period. Some day is almost impossible to stay on the beach cause the wind raises the sand and this bothers.
In these days is possible stay behind the dunes, downwind, or, if you prefer, take the bus, or car, and drive for 15 km towards Anfi del mar, Puerto Rico, Amadores...

  • 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.

⭐ Turn English subtitles on, to follow my video:


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.
