Fuerteventura
Best beaches in the Canaries. Kitesurf capital. The wind is a feature, not a bug.
A decent stretch with some sun and a chance of a shower.
Days 1–5 are usually reliable, 6–10 drift, 11–14 are the model guessing. Check again the day before you fly — more on what this can and can't do.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Best beaches in the Canaries, strong wind year-round (it's a kitesurf capital for a reason). Winter highs around 22°C, summer 27°C. The upwelling that cools the sea also keeps it cleaner; Cofete and Sotavento are world-class.
