| Afternoon high | Night low | Sea | Sunshine | Rainy days | Crowds | Surf |

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 20.5°C, as warm as the Agadir sea gets: refreshing rather than warm. Lifeguards and police patrol the main beach from about mid-June to mid-September, 08:00–20:00. Swim in front of them, respect the flags (black means swimming is prohibited) and never swim at night. Read the Agadir beaches guide before your first swim.
Surf: Small, clean waves: beginner season. See Taghazout surf lessons for schools, spots and prices.
Events and holidays
No major festival. Flamingos start returning to the estuaries (migration peaks September–October). The lifeguard season on the main beach ends around mid-September.
What to do in September
- Swimming in the warmest water of the year (supervised stretches in the first half)
- Paradise Valley as the best autumn season starts
- Surf lessons with small waves and warm water
- Camel ride along the Oued Souss as the flamingos return
Ideas for the days themselves: things to do in Agadir, the 3-day itinerary and, with children, Agadir with kids.
What to avoid
- Swimming alone on empty stretches after the lifeguards leave
- Assuming the water park is open: September opening is not confirmed, check first
