Climate in Sant Elm — Wind, Sea, and the Last Cove Before Sa Dragonera
Sant Elm sits at the far western tip of Mallorca, directly across from the uninhabited rocky island of Sa Dragonera. This small coastal village with its 180-meter sandy beach belongs to the municipality of Andratx and shares the basic climate of the west coast — Mediterranean, warm, with dry summers. What sets Sant Elm apart from the rest of the island is its western exposure: Atlantic-influenced wind systems reach the island here before being broken up by the Tramuntana mountains.
Rainfall in Sant Elm runs slightly above the Palma benchmark. According to aggregator climate data from neighboring Andratx (~5 km away), the region averages around 506 mm annually — more than the 449 mm AEMET records for Palma. November is the wettest month at around 79 mm; in July, aggregator data shows fewer than 10 mm — summer is dry.
Summers in Sant Elm bring daytime highs around 31°C and a daily average of around 26°C (Andratx aggregator). The open coastal position means more wind than in sheltered coves, though: the afternoon Embat sea breeze blows noticeably stronger here than further inland. That makes the heat during peak season more bearable, but it also means boat trips to Sa Dragonera can be affected by wind.
Water temperatures in the bay of Sant Elm match the west Mallorca sea standard: around 25°C in July and around 26°C in August according to aggregator data. Even in October, around 23°C is possible — the swimming season in Sant Elm tends to run long in practice, even if autumn can turn windier here earlier than on the south coast.
Winter in Sant Elm is mild but windier than elsewhere on the island. The daily average in January sits at around 12°C. Frost is rare. Hikes on Sa Dragonera (reachable by ferry) or along the Tramuntana foothills behind Andratx are perfectly manageable even in winter.

Note on data sources: Sant Elm has no dedicated klimatabelle.info page. Climate values are drawn from aggregator climate data for Andratx (~5 km to the east, same municipality) and should be treated as approximate figures. AEMET B228 Palma serves as the T1 comparison reference.
