Easter Weekend 2036: What to Expect
Easter Sunday falls on 6 April 2036. The holiday week sees a mix of calm mornings and breezier afternoons. The Levante wind – an easterly that funnels through the Strait – can pick up to 15-20 knots by 15:00, creating a slight chop. Our skippers plan routes to sheltered coves like Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés when needed.
For the flattest seas, depart between 10:00 and 15:00. You’ll get the warmest part of the day and the most stable conditions. If you want a sunset cruise, book a 2-hour slot from 17:00 – the light is spectacular, but bring a jacket.

Where to Go: Easter Cruise Routes
With 12 hours of daylight, you can cover a lot. A classic 4-hour trip heads west to Estepona for lunch, then back via the Marbella coastline. For a shorter 2-hour jaunt, cruise to Cabopino and its dunes, or anchor in the calm waters of Río Verde. The Cala del Faro is a favourite for its clear water and rocky backdrop.
If the Levante is strong, your skipper will suggest an easterly route towards Sotogrande, which is often more sheltered. Always trust the skipper’s judgement – safety comes first.
