When is the best time for windsurfing on Mallorca's coastline?

Late spring through early autumn is the sweetest spot for catching steady winds along Mallorca’s coast, especially near popular spots like Alcudia Bay and the beaches around Can Pastilla. The Ma-19 corridor to Cala Millor and the northern shores near Formentor offer reliable breezes that suit both novices and seasoned windsurfers. Winds generally blow from the southwest, creating ideal conditions for riding waves or cruising calmly over the turquoise waters. Summer brings warm air and sea temperatures, making long sessions comfortable and enjoyable.

Early mornings and late afternoons often provide the most consistent gusts, while midday can be calmer. The TIB bus network makes it relatively easy to get to less crowded coves like Cala Llombards or Cala Mondragó if you want to escape the bustle. Into September and sometimes October, the winds can remain lively, but the air and water temperatures start to cool off, so come prepared with a wetsuit if you want to extend your season. Watching the local wind forecasts and tapping into the island’s windsurfing community—particularly around Palma and Soller—will help plan your best days out on the water.
