Although the best time to travel to Fuerteventura may seem to be summer, the truth is that tourists from all over the world take advantage of any time of the year to visit this beautiful island.
If you are also wondering what the best season to travel to Fuerteventura is, in this article we are going to clear up any doubts about it and give you some advice on the activities you can enjoy during each season.
What is the climate like in Fuerteventura throughout the year?
The climate in the Canary Islands is influenced by the belt of trade winds, a factor that directly affects the tendency for flat formations on the island of Fuerteventura. The lack of mountains on the island encourages the flow of the trade winds and results in little rainfall during the four seasons.
Its average climate is approximately 27ºC in summer and 20ºC in winter, which means that, compared with other areas of the Iberian Peninsula, the island of Fuerteventura enjoys one of the most favourable average climates in the whole of Spain.
Thanks to this climatic factor, Fuerteventura enjoys a warm temperature with cool breezes throughout the year. For this reason, many tourists and residents consider the island to be one of the best destinations for practising water sports such as windsurfing. However, according to experts, the best months for practising this sport and kitesurfing are May and August, when the breeze and the waves are much more favourable.
What is the best month to travel to Fuerteventura?
There are other determining factors, in addition to the average climate, that can help you decide what the best time to travel to Fuerteventura is, such as tourist numbers and the availability of plane or ferry tickets.
January-April
During the first months of the year, tourist numbers are considered moderate, with certain peaks during Carnival and Easter holidays, especially when compared with the previous festive dates of Christmas and New Year. For this reason, the availability of plane and ferry tickets to Fuerteventura increases significantly and you will not find such large numbers of tourists.
The average temperature ranges between a high of 24 ºC and a low of 14 ºC. A very mild climate, allowing you to comfortably enjoy everything the island has to offer.
May-September
With temperatures ranging between 28 ºC and 16 ºC, these months include the beginning of spring and end with the last day of summer, which means they cover the warmest months and the period with the highest number of tourists in Fuerteventura (July and August).
In fact, especially for the inhabitants of the Canary archipelago, this is considered the best time to travel to Fuerteventura in order to enjoy its warm subtropical climate and spend a few refreshing days on some of its stunning beaches such as Cofete.
If you do not book in advance for these dates, it may become difficult to find good accommodation during the months from June to September. Plan your trip in advance!
October-December
During these months of the year, temperatures in Fuerteventura begin to drop to between 27º C – 15º C, announcing the arrival of winter, a season in which the demand for plane tickets and bookings reaches a considerable volume, especially from visitors from northern and central Europe looking to “escape” the cold and bad weather beginning in their countries. If you wish to travel during this season, especially in December, try to book in advance.
On the other hand, these final months are usually fully enjoyed by surfers due to the great size reached by the waves and the strength of the winds during this season. If you want to practise this sport, then without a doubt, this is the best time to travel to Fuerteventura and play with the waves!
