|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 23.2°C | 14.1°C | 17.5°C | ~9.1 h/day | ~1.7 | High | Mixed |
Averages: air from NOAA 1991–2020 normals (Agadir-Inezgane), sea from a 10-year average. Real days vary; check today's weather and sea temperature before you go.
Swimming: the sea is 17.5°C, cool but swimmable on sunny afternoons; surfers still wear a wetsuit. Outside the summer season there are few or no lifeguards. Rip currents and holes form after winter storms; stay in your depth near other people, and never swim at night. Read the Agadir beaches guide before your first swim.
Surf: Mixed: small days for learners, first bigger swells. See Taghazout surf lessons for schools, spots and prices.
Events and holidays
No big festival. The Danialand water park normally opens in early April (its 2026 season prices started on 5 April); check the opening date. Flamingo migration peaks in March–April. European Easter holidays bring families.
