Summer Days

The Summer is coming and that means a few things:

The quiet before the storm season

When people ask us, when is high season, we often reply December, and the months around it.

Low season we could say, May & June, perfect time to enjoy the island ourselves, take a break, travel, spend quality time with the family and fix our gear. If you enjoy low season, this is your moment ;).

Longer days

Hanging out on the beach till 8 p.m. — these are the summer days they sing about! The feeling of never-ending summer when you can windsurf, wing, surf and chill in 1 day and still have time to do your chores (cause we aren’t living in a holiday).

More Windsurf, Less Surf

More windy days, some windswell, less ground swell and lots of blown out waves — you notice the weather has changed, as if we have only 2 seasons, we move from winter into summer within a few weeks, spring doesn’t last long here.

You know it’s Summer

And just like that, suddenly every day it’s windyyyy — not our daily 15 knots of fun wind, no it’s WINDY. You wake up and see clouds, you think ooh a grey day, get your breakfast, do your morning routine, and there is blue sky and wind. THIS is SUMMER in Fuerteventura.

The water temperature is comfortable enough to surf in shorts or bikinis. All sweaters can move to the back of the wardrobe, maybe a light jacket for these chill nights out, it’s still a desert place, hot in the day and less hot at night.

Happy longest day of the year, Happy international Yoga day and Happy Summer.

21st June, Summer has arrived.

Put the aloë in your fridge cause the long, windy, sunny days ask for extra skin and hair care — see our After Sun DIY blog for our tested and best home made after sun body lotion!
