Maspalomas Weather in June
June marks the official beginning of summer in Maspalomas. Temperatures reach 26°C, the sky is cloudless, and the days are the longest of the year — over 13 hours of daylight.

Climate Detail
Sunshine averages 9 hours per day, and the UV index reaches 10 — extreme. Sun protection is non-negotiable. The trade winds peak in June and July, averaging over 60 kph, which is genuinely windy. This keeps the perceived temperature comfortable but means hat, towel, and umbrella management on the beach becomes an activity in itself. Sea temperature at 21°C is warm and inviting for extended swimming. The Maspalomas beach faces southwest, which means it catches the afternoon sun while being slightly more sheltered from the northeast trade wind than north-facing beaches.
What to Do in June
San Juan Night (June 23–24)

The PWA Windsurf World Cup is often held in Gran Canaria in June — a spectacular event to watch from the beach at Pozo Izquierdo on the east coast.
Boat trips along the south coast
June sea conditions are excellent for catamaran cruises, whale watching, and snorkelling excursions. The waters off the southwest coast are excellent for cetacean sightings.
Nightlife and evening culture
