Weather Forecast: Monster Waves Along The North Shore

Gran Canaria weather Forecast: Huge waves expected tomorrow along the North Shore Gran Canaria weather Forecast: Huge waves expected tomorrow along the North Shore photosgrancanaria.com

02.02.2017: This weekend will be sunny all over Gran Canaria with little or no wind. There may be the odd afternoon shower in the south. The North Shore will be hammered by huge waves tomorrow (Friday). 

The weak front that passed over Gran Canaria over the last couple of days has now gone and the last clouds will fade during today. 

With hardly any wind, most of Gran Canaria will be sunny over the weekend although we may get some afternoon clouds over the highlands that could spread to the south coast in the afternoons. There may even be the odd shower at cocktail o'clock.

The north of Gran Canaria will get cloudy patches but should be largely sunny.

The North Shore will be getting huge waves tomorrow thanks to a big swell rolling in from the northwest. They will be at their biggest first thing in the morning but over two metres (that's four metres in real height) all day long. The south coast, sheltered from the swell by the island, will be flat calm. 

So, for beach weather and swimming, the south is the place to be. For surfing (experts only) and wave-watching, you want to be up north.

    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.
