The Spanish island Fuerteventura is the second largest island of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean after Tenerife and has about 110,000 inhabitants.
The popular holiday island lies some 76 miles west of Morocco and is not only popular with bathers due to its climatic conditions.
Since 1860 the present Puerto del Rosario (formerly Puerto de Cabras) has been the capital of Fuerteventura with around 40,000 inhabitants. Politically, the Canary Islands belong to Spain, but with their two provinces they have the status of an autonomous region.
Fuerteventura belongs with Gran Canaria and Lanzarote to the province “Las Palmas”, while the Canary Islands Tenerife, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Palma belong to the province Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Fuerteventura is also called the “island of eternal spring” because it is pleasantly warm all year round and the weather is very balanced. Unlike other holiday destinations in the Canary Islands, Fuerteventura is very dry, with only about 5.91 in of rainfall during the year.
Rain is to be expected at most in the winter months, but also then it concerns rare short showers. The weather is generally sunny with average values between 17 °C to 26 °C, whereby the daily maximum temperatures in summer can also exceed 30 °C.
The water temperatures are between 19 °C to 23 °C. The special climate on Fuerteventura is influenced by the so-called Canary Current (a moderately warm Atlantic current) and the continuous north-east trade wind. The humidity is usually pleasantly low.
In midsummer, the climate phenomenon Calima (a desert wind) can bring record temperatures above 38 °C, but these extremes only last for a few days.

When is it warm on Fuerteventura?
There are no seasons in the classical sense on Fuerteventura, which is why the Canary Island is suitable as a holiday destination all year round. Even in winter it remains pleasantly mild with day temperatures of around 20 °C, only the time between sunrise and sunset is now significantly reduced compared to summer (see sunshine duration / climate table).
During the summer months, the island is not only popular with bathers, but is also one of the best places in Europe for windsurfing and kitesurfing. Optimal conditions prevail in the period from the end of May to the beginning of November, especially July to October can be described as the best travel season on Fuerteventura. Because of the warm, long summer days, the Atlantic Ocean is warmest in September and October with a water temperature of 23 °C to 24 °C.
If you prefer a more relaxed or sporty approach, however, you can switch to the low season without hesitation. Especially for beach walks, hikes and excursions to the highlights of the island, the winter months with mostly sunny weather and mild temperatures are a suitable travel time.

If you don’t want to chase through the waves yourself, you can watch water sports enthusiasts perform their tricks in La Pared, for example. All surf schools take great care to ensure that surfers and swimmers do not get in each other’s way on popular beaches – safety is a top priority on the Canary Islands.
The inland of Fuerteventura is rather sparsely populated compared to the neighbouring islands, the main attraction are undoubtedly the long dream beaches. A visit to the dunes of Corralejo is as popular as the steep coasts in the west of the island (e.g. Ajuy) and the fishing village Morro Jable.
The archaeological site “La Atalayita” reveals the secrets of the Mahos, who were native to Fuerteventura in the 15th century. Our excursion recommendations: Boat tour with FuerteCharter or Ocean People, visit the Oasis Park Fuerteventura and off-road tour e.g. from Cross Island.
