Fuerteventura in October
Around 24 °C by day, sea 23.1 °C. Warm enough to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 out of 5 against 4.
October on Fuerteventura is 24 °C by day and 23.1 °C in the sea. The ocean warms later than the land, so the best swimming in the Canaries comes in autumn rather than midsummer.
October is the pause between seasons: the summer crowd has left, the winterers arrive in November. Load is 2 out of 5 in the capital and 3 in resort Pájara. For a scouting trip it is the best month of the year: summer water, few people, and a clear view of what runs on its own. What to check is distance. From Puerto del Rosario the hospital is 3 minutes away and the airport 10; from Pájara 39 and 55. The island stretches a hundred kilometres, and that is its defining feature, not the climate.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 18 rainy days a year, 60% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
