With nearly 365 sunny days per year and an average temperature ranging from 20 to 28 degrees Celsius, Fuerteventura is a sun-drenched island with perpetual summer and warmth! Here, there’s minimal risk of rain or other weather disturbances that could disrupt surfing. Unlike other parts of Europe, the water temperature are between 18 to 23 degrees Celsius year-round, allowing for comfortable surfing in just swimwear or a thin wetsuit. Talk about freedom! If you want to take a break from surfing and opt for sunbathing instead, there are plenty of opportunities to do so – even during the winter months.
Even though it’s one of the more uncommon tourist destinations in Europe, Fuerteventura is well-known among surfers for its wide range of surf spots. Around the island, you can find waves suitable for all levels, regardless of wind and swell. From calm, shallow beaches for beginners to slightly more challenging beach breaks, to reef breaks for the experienced surfer chasing big, fast waves. At our surf camp, you’ll have easy access to all the best surf spots – whether you come with a lot of experience or have never stood on a surfboard before.
Fuerteventura is often dubbed Europe’s Hawaii, and it’s easy to see why. Both volcanic islands boast exceptional surfing conditions on stunning beaches adorned with golden sand and crystal-clear waters. Much like Hawaii, Fuerteventura is well-known for its warm hospitality, laid-back lifestyle, and bohemian atmosphere. Many visitors describe the island as peaceful, inviting, and inclusive. Its vibrant surf and hippie culture make it an ideal destination for those seeking to escape the pressures of daily life, unwind completely, and forge connections with like-minded individuals.
Fuerteventura features crystal-clear turquoise waters, majestic volcanoes, and dramatic desert landscapes – it hardly feels like you’re still in Europe (or in some places, even on planet Earth!). Besides surfing, Fuerteventura offers a myriad of unforgettable nature experiences. How about hiking up the volcanoes in El Teide National Park and enjoying a breathtaking coast-to-coast view? Or exploring the hidden, magically turquoise natural pools that emerge in the dark volcanic rock at low tide? For the adventurous explorer, nothing beats traversing the island on an off-road ATV along the coast and vast sand dunes. In short, simply being in these fantastic environments is an unforgettable experience in itself!
For those looking to go “off the beaten track” without traveling halfway around the globe but still want access to amenities and luxury, Fuerteventura is perfect. Here, all types of surfers gather for laid-back vibes and plenty of waves. Fuerteventura has fewer massive hotel complexes and mass tourism and more charming fishing villages with colorful buildings and expansive nature. On “La Isla Tranquila” – the peaceful island – you don’t have to worry about crowding in the water or finding a spot to sunbathe. A hidden gem!
