July brings the height of summer to Lanzarote, with long, sun-filled days and temperatures usually settling between 26 and 30 degrees. The sky is a clear, endless blue, and there is a wonderful sense of energy as visitors and locals alike make the most of the season. The steady trade winds are a real gift at this time of year, keeping the air fresh and comfortable. Without them, our closeness to Africa would make things feel much warmer.
This is our busiest season, so you can expect the beaches to be lively and the resort centres full of life. Prices do tend to be a little higher, but the vibrant atmosphere more than makes up for it.
Even with the summer warmth, Lanzarote’s dry climate means it almost never feels humid or uncomfortable. The gentle breeze, the refreshing ocean, and the relaxed pace of island life all help to make July a truly enjoyable time to be here.

What to Expect from the Weather in Lanzarote in July
Here on Lanzarote, summer days are beautifully warm, with temperatures usually settling between 26 and 30°C. The trade winds pick up in the afternoons, bringing a refreshing breeze that makes the sunshine all the more enjoyable. Evenings are pleasantly mild, around 20 to 21°C, just right for a gentle stroll along the seafront as the day winds down.
The sea itself is wonderfully inviting at 21 to 22°C, perfect for a swim. The sun is strong at this time of year, so I always recommend plenty of sun protection, especially for little ones.
The Lanzarote Trade Winds
July is when the trade winds really make their presence felt here on Lanzarote. For windsurfers and kitesurfers, it is a dream come true, with perfect conditions out on the water. Some of the beaches facing north can get a little breezy at this time of year, but if you prefer a more sheltered spot, the southern beaches like Papagayo, Playa Dorada and Playa Flamingo are ideal.
The breeze is something we have come to appreciate over the years. It keeps the air fresh and cool, like a gentle, natural air conditioning that makes summer days here so comfortable.
Things to Do in Lanzarote in July
July is all about embracing the Lanzarote beach lifestyle, with Papagayo’s sparkling coves looking especially inviting at this time of year and Playa Grande starts to get busy. Families often spend their days enjoying the water parks or heading out on boat trips, making the most of the warm, sunny weather.
If you prefer to stay active, I always recommend setting out for a morning hike before the sun climbs too high. As evening falls, the island comes alive with open-air concerts, lively night markets and the vibrant atmosphere along the Puerto del Carmen strip.
And for something truly special, take a little time to look up at the night sky. Our dark summer skies are perfect for stargazing, offering a magical end to a day spent in the sunshine.
