Tips about weather and island activities:
It almost never rains here in Lanzarote, but the wind is a major factor.
Waves, tides and wind have a big impact on any shore activities (tides have a big difference of about 2 meters).
Being a dry desert zone, temperature can drop quickly in the evening and when is cloudy and windy too.
Wind almost always blows from the north-east which is what gives such great weather conditions. Great to enjoy just about any activity if the wind doesn´t get too strong.
If the wind gets from the east / south it can get really hot and turn into whats called a Calima with hot dusty wind from the Sahara desert nearby in Africa. Great for enjoying any ocean activity to cool off. If the hot wind gets too strong in the summer is better to enjoy the black lava beaches of the north-west coast to keep cool.
If the wind gets from the west / north-west is almost guaranteed that is going to rain on and off.
Many times is cloudy on the north / north-west of the island and at the same time is sunny in the south / south-east. But there are days when its the other way around.
Go trekking and biking on a cloudy or windy day to keep cool in the summer; but in the winter its OK on sunny days.
Have fun.
