The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) is maintaining yellow (risk) and orange (significant risk) warnings for coastal conditions across the Canary Islands this Sunday, due to strong swells and high waves. The most adverse situation is expected in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, where waves of five to six metres may occur. On the remaining islands, the warning level remains yellow, with swells reaching four to five metres.
Away from the coast, the general weather pattern will be largely settled, with mostly clear skies, some morning cloud intervals, and temperatures remaining stable or falling slightly, particularly at night. Winds will be light from the north-east, becoming moderate at times on the eastern islands, while sea breezes will dominate along the coast.
Island-by-island forecast
Tenerife
Skies will be mostly clear, with some cloudy intervals during the morning. Minimum temperatures will remain unchanged or drop slightly, while maximums may rise a little in the north and remain stable elsewhere. Light frosts cannot be ruled out in the central peaks. Winds will be generally light from the north-east, with breezes along the coast and moderate north-westerly winds in high-altitude areas.

La Gomera
Conditions will be mostly clear, with morning cloud intervals and increasing cloud cover again towards the late afternoon. Minimum temperatures will fall slightly, while maximums will remain largely unchanged, with small increases at higher elevations.

Coastal risk remains the main concern
While inland and urban areas will experience relatively calm and stable weather, AEMET stresses that coastal conditions remain hazardous, particularly on the eastern islands. Residents and visitors are advised to avoid exposed coastal areas, follow official guidance, and stay informed as warnings remain in force throughout the day.
