Wind and Waves Festival in Pozo Izquierdo every July Wind and Waves Festival in Pozo Izquierdo every July www.photosgrancanaria.com

Gran Canaria's east coast gets so blowy in July that the whole windsurfing world gathers at Pozo Izquierdo for the World Windsurfing Cup. 

Rather than just a windsurfing tournament, Pozo lays on a full-blown festival with daily concerts, demonstrations and kiddie activities.

Pozo is a great place to visit during the festival as the action happens just offshore so you get to see the wold's best windsurfers doing incredible stunts. With hundereds of flags blowing, music competing with the howling wind and a great atmosphere, Pozo is the coolest place in Gran Canaria during Wind and Waves.

The cafe at the north end of the pebble beach caters to hungry windsurfers so you get big portions of great food at excellent prices. 

The Wind and Waves Festival 2015 is on between July 11 and 19. The tournament strts at 10.00 am every day.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
