מזג האוויר בשפשאוון בינואר

Forum posters describe Tarifa as reliably windy essentially year-round, which is exactly what makes it Europe's windsurfing and kitesurfing capital regardless of season - posters note winds tend to be lighter in the morning and pick up as the day goes on, useful for timing a session. Posters are candid winter here is genuinely cool: the sea runs cold enough that a proper wetsuit is standard gear for January water sports, even though posters say you'd be unlucky not to catch at least a few genuinely warm, T-shirt-weather days within a winter stay. Posters are consistent Tarifa is a real, year-round working town rather than a seasonal tourist trap - rental shops, instruction and gear are available through the winter, not just in the busy summer months.

Forum posters describe November in Chefchaouen as cooler and very possibly rainy, with more recent accounts specifically warning it can turn cold, rainy and genuinely miserable by late in the month. Posters attribute this partly to the town's setting - not just in Morocco's colder north but also at roughly 700-750m elevation, surrounded by mountains whose weather runs even less predictable than the surrounding lowlands. Posters consistently recommend layered clothing with a wind- and waterproof shell as essential for a November visit. Posters generally rate November as a weaker pick for Chefchaouen weather-wise, with spring (April-May) or September consistently recommended instead as better alternatives.

May is the forum's month for northern Morocco — longer days, greenery, spring flowers, and unlikely to be either too hot or too cold. Chefchaouen adds its own variable: at 750m the mountain weather changes fast, and posters describe all four seasons thrown at you in a single day. The record puts May at 24°C by day and 14 overnight, warmer than the 19–21°C some visitors report, while one 2025 trip report describes an early heatwave running hot and dry. Spring rains more here than December does, though at under six wet days it is hardly a washout. Layers — and May rather than late March.
