The Canary Islands are famed for their pleasant sub-tropical climate. La Graciosa the most northerly island has an arid desert like climate that averages 14-22°C in winter and 22-28°C in summer. There is hardly any rainfall, relatively low humidity and cooling sea breezes, these factors combine to make it "the island of eternal spring". The waters around the islands are not as warm as they might be at this latitude, due to the cool Canaries current that flows through the islands from the North. However, kiteboarders from northern Europe will find them relatively balmy, averaging 18°C in winter (January to March) and 24°C in summer (July to October). In terms of what to wear in the water, wintertime visitors from northern Europe will be comfortable with a very light full suit or shorty, whilst summertime is board shorts weather.
