Corralejo is a sunshine superstar, with warm, dry weather most of the year. Summer hits 28–30°C with bright blue skies and perfect beach conditions. Autumn stays warm in the mid-20s, with the sea at its best for swimming. Winter averages a comfy 17–20°C (prime winter-sun territory), and spring brings low-to-mid 20s and those long, breezy days ideal for exploring the dunes. Rain is rare – usually a quick shower and gone again – so if you’re getting wet, it’ll be from the Atlantic, not the sky.
