Weather in Es Port Des Canonge

Climate in Es Port des Canonge — Tramuntana West Coast, Wind-Exposed and Rainy

Es Port des Canonge is one of Mallorca's most remote coastal villages: a small fishing harbor on the northwest coast, tucked between steep Tramuntana cliffs and reachable only by a winding mountain road. This setting is what defines the climate here — it is one of the rainiest coastal climates on the island.

The Serra de Tramuntana intercepts moist air masses arriving from the northwest off the Mediterranean. On the west coast, where Es Port des Canonge sits, rainfall is significantly higher than in the Bay of Palma: while AEMET records 449 mm of annual precipitation for Palma, aggregator climate data puts the reference figure for the Banyalbufar region at around 700 mm. November is the wettest month, with roughly 100 mm. Autumn and winter here are noticeably wetter than in Palma or along the south coast.

Summer in Es Port des Canonge is cooler than in Palma. The northwest-facing exposure and persistent wind create more refreshing conditions: July daytime highs average around 28°C — lower than the roughly 30°C along the Palma waterfront (AEMET figure: 29.7°C). July sees only about 8 mm of rain on average, so the summer is dry, but the seaward side stays noticeably breezier than the south coast.

Hikers exploring the Tramuntana west coast and swimmers enjoying the small harbor cove both tend to appreciate the quieter, cooler conditions. Sea temperatures reach around 25°C in July and still hover near 22°C in October — slightly fresher than the warmer Bay of Palma, likely due to stronger mixing driven by coastal winds.

Winter is harsh. The January daily mean sits at around 11°C, and the village is fully exposed to the northwest wind, which is known to blow with particular force across the Tramuntana region. Anyone visiting this stretch of cliff coast in winter should be prepared for changeable weather and strong gusts.
