A practical March plan
Keep Famara for scenery or water sports and choose a more sheltered beach when you mainly want to swim.
Wind and sea conditions can matter more than the monthly air-temperature mean, especially on exposed beaches such as Famara. Check an up-to-date forecast before travelling and the beach flags before entering the water. These air-temperature figures do not tell you sea temperature, wind speed or whether swimming is safe.
