Surfing conditions on Gran Canaria
As on all Canary Islands, Gran Canaria is also surfing season all year round due to the warm temperatures. Beginners will find suitable waves in Gran Canaria all year round, while advanced surfers can expect the most consistent surfing conditions from October to March and, importantly, the popular surf spots are less crowded than in summer. Due to the pleasant water temperature, which is around 19 degrees Celsius in February and almost 24 degrees Celsius in October, a 3/2 mm wetsuit is sufficient even in winter. In the summer months you can also go into the water in board shorts or a surf bikini. Many surf spots on Gran Canaria are not particularly wind-prone even during the trade wind season in summer and you will find many hidden surf bays with different orientations. Therefore, the quality of the waves can change quickly depending on the swell and wind direction. By far the most consistent waves are in the green north of the island.The best surf spots and surf camps on Gran Canaria
