Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria Weather in September

The resort settles into its most appealing rhythm: fully operational, warm, and genuinely relaxed. For active families, couples, and watersports enthusiasts, September in Puerto Rico is close to perfect. The bay is warm and calm, the watersports operators are running full programmes, whale watching is productive, and the marina evenings are long, warm, and unhurried.

What to Do in September
Bay swimming and beach life at their best
Warmest sea of the year in the calmest bay on the south coast. September mornings on the Playa de Puerto Rico are among the finest beach experiences in Gran Canaria.
Diving and snorkelling at peak conditions
Sea temperature and visibility combine for the best underwater conditions of the year. The rocky outcrops outside the bay entrance and the offshore sites hold excellent marine life in September.
Whale and dolphin watching
September is highly productive for cetacean sightings — boat trips from Puerto Rico marina are reliable and rewarding. Pilot whales, common dolphins, and bottlenose dolphins are regularly encountered.
Sailing in ideal conditions
Post-peak trade winds in September are strong enough for excellent sailing but less overpowering than the July maximum. The marina is easier to access, and charter availability is better than in August.
West coast sunset cruise
September sunset timing (around 8pm) combined with 25°C evenings makes the catamaran cruise west along the cliff coast toward Mogán the finest boat experience of the year.
