The climate of Blanes: Mediterranean climate

Costa Brava, where Blanes is located, has a typical Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. The port city is situated in the southern part of the shore segment; we recommend that you visit it between June and September. July and August are the warmest, most tourists visit in this period. If you would prefer to avoid the crowds, the first part of September is perfect to go to the holiday resort, as the climate is still great, but everything is much calmer and more peaceful. Or do you insist on going in the summer? Then we recommend the second part of July in particular. There are many free spots on the beaches, except at the weekends.Check the sailing conditions and wind rose diagram of Blanes.
