surfing gran canaria with extreme sports cafeSurfing in Gran Canaria - The Canary Islands - With Extreme Sports Cafe...

The Climate in “Gran Canaria”...

With its endless sandy beaches, dramatic mountainous interior, desert like dunes and acres of lush green vegetation, Gran Canaria is the most scenic of the Canary Islands.

The Isle of “Gran Canaria” is divided in two main climatic zones. The North centre which is very humid, where you can find precious green valleys with their enormous craters and boilers, and the dry part further south with its desert landscapes. In the South you can find incredible golden fine sandy beaches for a swim or some sun. The average temperature is between 17 degrees in the winter to 24º in the summer. Water temperature varies between 19º and 23º… So, water sports are an all year around event…with a very pleasant surrounding.

Extreme Sports Café has two new Surfing Schools in Gran Canaria located in the South & the North of the island.
