Været i Agadir i august

August here is the Atlantic answer to Marrakech, and regulars describe both halves of the bargain. The good half: far cooler than inland, to the point where visitors complain about cold nights - our 18.9C low is why. The bad half: June through August is the windy stretch, and on the beach that means sand blowing in your face for the afternoon, sandblasted being the word they use. Our row measures the wind at 27.2 kph and puts the sea at 19.3C, so this is a walking and eating month rather than a swimming one. Their range of roughly 17 to 27C runs a little under our 30.2C average high, which the wind conceals. The record: 0.1mm of rain, no precipitation days, and 12.2 hours of sun.

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.
