What to pack on Fuerteventura?

Fuerteventura, offers year-round sunshine and a warm, mild climate—making it a dream destination for surfers and adventurers alike.

Winter (December–February): Expect pleasant temperatures around 18-24°C (64-75°F), with cooler evenings. The water stays warm enough for surfing, and the island is quieter, perfect for a winter escape.

Spring (March–May): Temperatures rise to 20-26°C (68-79°F), with steady waves and refreshing breezes. The island starts to bloom, making it an excellent time for hikes and beach adventures.

Summer (June–September): Long, sunny days with highs of 25-30°C (77-86°F). Trade winds keep it comfortable, and the surf conditions are great for beginners. Expect lively beach vibes and warm water temperatures.

Autumn (October–November): One of the best seasons to visit! Temperatures remain 22-28°C (72-82°F), the ocean is still warm, and the surf is consistent—ideal for catching waves and exploring the island without the summer crowds.

No matter when you visit, Fuerteventura’s dry climate, endless sunshine, and refreshing ocean breeze make it the perfect escape for adventure and relaxation!

Packing smart ensures you’re prepared for every activity - from riding epic waves and unwinding with yoga to hiking volcanic landscapes or bonding with your new sisters at a BBQ, all in Fuerteventura's sunny, beachy climate!
