Canary Islands · Spain
Atlantic trade winds and year-round sunshine at El Médano
THE DESTINATION
Tenerife's south coast is the Canaries' wind machine. El Médano's bay picks up the Atlantic trade winds nearly year-round, serving up sunny sessions from flatter inside runs to proper swell outside, with the Wind Center Playa Surf right on the beach. Volcano views, café culture and warm water in January: winter training, solved.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The wind when we're there
Sailing wind: 2+ hours in a row of 11+ knots, or gusts of 16+, between 11:00 and 19:00. Source: Open-Meteo, 2023-2026. Measured, not our estimate.
Wind is nature, not a promise. We can't guarantee it. But Tenerife stacks the odds in your favour, and we plan every day around the forecast to chase the best of it together.
