Fuerteventura in September
Great time to visit
September offers summer weather with slightly fewer crowds and dropping prices. The occasional dust storm is the only downside to otherwise excellent conditions.
Weather
September maintains summer warmth at 27°C while crowds begin to thin. The ocean stays beautifully warm at 23°C from the summer heating. The dreaded calima dust storms are more common this month.

All Months
Here's the thing about Fuerteventura - it's basically always warm. Even in January, temperatures hit 20°C during the day, and the water stays around 18°C year-round thanks to the Gulf Stream. But some months are definitely better than others.
April through June is perfect. The crowds haven't arrived yet, hotel prices are reasonable, and the wind conditions are ideal for water sports. May might be the sweet spot - warm enough for beach days but not so hot that you're hiding indoors during midday.
September through November works well too. The summer crowds have gone home, but the water is still warm from months of sun. October can be particularly good for surfing, as the first Atlantic swells start arriving.
Avoid July and August if you can. It's not just the crowds - though they are intense - it's the heat. Temperatures push 30°C regularly, and the trade winds that usually keep things comfortable can die down completely. Plus, everything costs more and books up faster.
