Average temp is around 26 in summer time and 22 during winter so we can say that here we are living on an eternal spring.
The town has been protected from massive tourism and has remained untouched for over 20 years.  This is the charm of Famara, the perfect location for your surfing holidays if you are looking for a place to focus on your surfing and disconnect from the rest.
Besides, this is a surfers town and surf shops are spread all town long. Here, all is about surfing. That is the reason why Lanzarote is known as the European Hawaii.

Seasonal conditions
Lanzarote gets constants swells all year round but best season is from September to April when we get bigger swells and lower winds.
Water temp is around 20 degree during winter season and 23 during summer time. We recommend 3.2 mm wetsuit during winter months.
Weather here is pretty mild and we say that we are living on a eternal spring. Average temperature in the island is around 24º.

Crowd factor and local people
Famara beach stretches for 4 kms long so is very seldom crowded  apart from the people joing the surf courses.
Other intermediate/advance break points could be crowed on the good days but as long as you follow the rules you’ll be fine as Canary Island people are very friendly.
