The wind in Mallorca can also vary depending on the time of year and location. During the summer, the prevailing winds are the easterly winds, which blow from the east and can be hot and dry.

Majorca (Mallorca) is not "always" windy, but it does have very distinct and reliable wind patterns shaped by its Mediterranean geography. In the summer (June to August), the island is dominated by the "Embat", a gentle thermal sea breeze that begins mid-morning and provides a refreshing cooling effect for the beaches—this is ideal for sailing and windsurfing. However, the island can experience a much fiercer wind known as the "Tramuntana", a cold, dry wind from the northwest that blows primarily in the winter and spring, particularly affecting the mountainous Serra de Tramuntana region. April is statistically the windiest month, with average speeds around 11 km/h. If you are staying on the North or Northeast coast (like Alcudia or Pollensa), you will feel the wind more frequently than in the sheltered bays of the South. For most travelers, the wind is a welcome relief from the 33°C+ summer heat rather than a nuisance, though it can occasionally make the sea too choppy for small boat rentals during "Cold Drop" (Gota Fría) events in September.
