Canary Islands
In the Atlantic, off the west of the North Africa, lie the volcanic islands of the Canaries, basking in year round sunshine and blown by consistent winds, each island has a distinct character of its own. They sit on the same latitude as the Sahara and Red Sea, but are further south than Florida. Many of the beaches are incredible with endless stretches of pure golden sand lapped by azure water making the perfect backdrop to your sailing dream.
The temperatures are reliably good all year, peaking in July to September at 88For 30C. The sea conditions vary from one island to another, and, between venues on each island, different windsurfing is available according to your preference or ability. It is possible to go from radical wave sailing in one area to flat water ‘blasting’ in another on the same day. The islands are blessed with a constant supply of wind, thereby making them the ideal choice for all year round windsurfing and kiting.
