Lanzarote in October
Around 24 °C by day, sea 23 °C. Warm enough to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 of 4.
October on Lanzarote is 23 °C in the water: a tenth of a degree below the September peak and warmer than August. Air at 24 °C. The ocean warms later than the land, so the best swimming in the Canaries comes in autumn rather than midsummer.
Load is 2 out of 4 — the island empties between seasons. It is the only month when Lanzarote looks like a resort without the resort crowd: summer water, winter prices, and less wind than in February. If you were to pick one month of the year to come and decide whether to live here, this is it.
