Traveller notes on Agadir in January
Notes from nearby Taghazout (17 km away)
Agadir doesn't have its own notes for January yet — these are about Taghazout, close enough to share the season.
Forum posters describe January average temperatures around 17C, with conditions described as cool and rainy rather than reliable beach weather, and note even nearby Agadir stays only in the low 20s this time of year. Posters consistently name October through April as the strong surf season, with the biggest swells and best waves in late fall, winter and early spring - though the water itself runs coldest during exactly this same window, making a full wetsuit standard gear. Posters describe winter swells as sometimes too big for a casual swim in the shore break, though experienced surfers rate this window highly. Posters consistently recommend Taghazout specifically as a world-class winter surf destination, with one university surf club returning every January and reporting consistently good trips.
Other months in Agadir
Forum posters describe December in Agadir as generally mild, with sunny days bringing warm midday temperatures around 24-25C, cooler mornings and evenings, and genuinely cold nights near the ocean that make a jacket or cardigan worthwhile. Posters are consistent that the sea itself runs too cool for comfortable swimming this time of year, though some hardier locals do swim daily regardless, with wading a more realistic option for most visitors. Posters are direct that December and January weather here isn't fully predictable - a run of sunny, warm days can just as easily give way to a cloudier, cooler stretch. Posters generally rate December as mild and pleasant on a good day, genuinely variable overall, and workable as a winter-sun destination without expecting swimming weather.
June in Agadir averages near 29°C with effectively no rain — under a quarter of a rainy day across the month — but one forum thread title says the rest: "not for sun worshippers". Sea mist is common right through summer, mornings can be misty or cloudy, and one visitor describes a June of roughly half sunshine and half cold, misty, foggy weather with specks of rain. Reports of 40°C exist alongside that. The sea stays cool at about 21°C and pool water can be chilly on a cloudy day. Pack sun lotion, a hat and insect repellent — and a light cardigan you will probably not need.
