Water Temperature in Canary Islands: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities
Original name of the region: Islas Canarias
The Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Africa, enjoy mild and stable sea temperatures throughout the year, making them a popular destination for swimming and water sports. In winter, from December to February, the water temperature remains relatively warm, ranging between 18°C and 20°C (64°F to 68°F), allowing for comfortable swimming even during the colder months.
As spring arrives, sea temperatures gradually rise, reaching around 19°C to 21°C (66°F to 70°F) by May. The Atlantic’s cooling effect prevents extreme heat, but by summer, from June to September, the water warms up further, typically ranging from 22°C to 24°C (72°F to 75°F). This makes the islands ideal for beach activities, snorkeling, and diving, with clear waters and pleasant swimming conditions.
During autumn, the sea remains warm, with temperatures in October and November ranging between 21°C and 23°C (70°F to 73°F). This consistency in water temperature, combined with the islands’ subtropical climate, makes the Canary Islands a year-round beach and water sports destination, distinct from mainland Spain’s more variable coastal conditions.
