Weather by area in July
- South. The driest and hottest side. Arona has about 28 °C in summer and Adeje averages about 24 °C over the year with roughly 300 sunny days. See Costa Adeje and Playa de las Américas.
- West. Los Gigantes and Puerto de Santiago are often above 30 °C in July and August. See Puerto de Santiago.
- North. The trade winds keep the coast cooler: Puerto de la Cruz stays between 15 and 22 °C all year, and Garachico has summer highs of 23 to 25 °C.

What to do in July
- Water sports. The board links the hot months with water sports on the west coast. Options: Tenerife kayak and paddleboard tours, Tenerife scuba diving, and Tenerife surf lessons. Summer is the season for the surf spots El Cabezo and Fitenia, and the trade winds shape conditions from May to September.
- Fishing. May to September is the board's best season for blue marlin and tuna: see Tenerife fishing charters.
- Boats. Cruises run all year because pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins live off the south-west coast all year: see Tenerife boat trips.
- Parks. Siam Park tickets, Loro Parque tickets and Jungle Park, which is open every day from 10:00 to 17:30 (park website, read 7 November 2026).
- Teide early. The cable car takes about 8 minutes to 3,555 m; tickets are sold online only. See Teide cable car.
- Pools. The El Caletón pools in Garachico are especially popular in summer; the board warns that the sea can be rough, so watch the waves. See Garachico.
July festivals
- FIMUCITÉ. The International Film Music Festival is held every year in early July (tourist board).
- Santiago Apóstol. Around 25 July in Santiago del Teide, with processions, concerts, fairs and open-air dances, according to the board's municipality page.
- Summer dances. The villages of Santiago del Teide hold open-air dances with live music in summer.
- Virgen del Carmen. The board lists the festival among summer events.
The board gives the month or the approximate date for these, so confirm exact dates with the organisers before planning a day around one. For the next month, see Tenerife in June.
Where to stay in July
For sun and sea, the south: where to stay in Costa Adeje, where to stay in Los Cristianos and where to stay in El Médano. El Médano is the reference spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, and the board says it has about 300 windy days a year. For a cooler base, choose the north or the mountains. Compare rates by date in the Booking box.
Mistakes to avoid
- Hiking at altitude in the middle of the day. The board advises sun cream and a hat.
- Going up Teide in beachwear. Take a warm layer for 3,555 m.
- Swimming in the El Caletón pools without checking the waves.
- Booking the north for the hottest beach weather. The south has more sun.
