Gran Canaria in February
Around 18.5 °C by day, sea 19.3 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 of 3.
February is the low point of the year: 18.5 °C by day, 19.3 °C in the sea. Cold by the island's standards, and about what May is in Málaga by the mainland's.
Some of the winterers leave in February and load drops to 2 out of 3. It is a convenient month for a scouting trip: in Maspalomas and Mogán in the south you can already see what runs all year and what opens for the season, and accommodation costs less than in December. Rain is rare here in any month — 25 days a year against Mallorca's 55 — but humidity at 68% is higher than on dry Lanzarote.
