Webcams in Gran Canaria live

Gran Canaria changes landscape and climate within kilometers: sun in the south, clouds at the summit, and breeze in the capital. At CanariasLife, you can see live how the wind, sea state, and visibility are in areas like Las Palmas, Maspalomas, Mogán, or Pozo Izquierdo.

With so many beaches and different microclimates, checking the cameras before you go saves you from the typical "I didn't choose the right beach today."

What can you see on the Gran Canaria cameras?

• Las Palmas de Gran Canaria — Sea state and environment at Las Canteras beach, one of the best urban beaches in Spain. Also visibility in the port area.
• Mogán — Beach and weather conditions on the southwest coast: Amadores, Puerto Rico, and Patalavaca. Usually the most sheltered area from the wind.
• San Bartolomé de Tirajana — How Playa del Inglés and the Maspalomas Dunes are doing: sun, wind, and sand condition.
• Pozo Izquierdo — The wind reference point in Gran Canaria. Host of the world windsurfing championship: here you see live if the conditions are good for water sports.

Weather and microclimates in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is called "a miniature continent" for a reason: you can have bright sun in Maspalomas and dense clouds in Teror at the same time. The cameras allow you to check in real-time what's happening in each area of the island, so you can choose north, south or inland with real information, not assumptions.

Sea state in Gran Canaria today

Before going to the beach, check how the sea is. You can see the swell, tide, and water clarity in different coasts: from Las Canteras in the north to Amadores in the south. This way, you choose the beach with the best conditions without unnecessary detours.

Wind in Gran Canaria

The wind varies a lot between the east coast (more exposed) and the west (more sheltered). Pozo Izquierdo is the reference for windsurfing and kitesurfing, but if you are looking for a beach without wind, Mogán and Amadores are usually the best option. With the cameras, you check it live.
