Väder i Tangier i januari

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 northern Morocco, Tangier included, as starting to turn cold and possibly rainy by November, with posters flagging November as historically the wettest month of the year for the country overall. Posters are direct that Morocco's size and geographic diversity mean November weather varies enormously by region - the same month can bring nice sunny days, snow storms, and stretches of solid rain depending on exactly where you are. Posters consistently recommend the deep south, around Marrakech and beyond, for the best chance of warmth in November, implicitly framing Tangier and the north as the cooler, wetter end of that range. Posters generally recommend planning for cooler, rain-capable conditions and packing accordingly for a November visit to Tangier specifically.

May is the forum's recommended month for northern Morocco, and Tangier is specifically what they suggest when someone wants to dodge the heat building inland — Fes can already be hot by late May while the north stays milder. Tangier itself runs near 24°C by day and 15 overnight, with rain down to under four days and the countryside still green with spring flowers. Two honest notes: May can still turn rainy, and one traveller's late-May 2025 report describes an early heatwave running hot and dry for a fortnight. The sea is still cool, around 18°C.
