The figures below are monthly averages for 1991–2020 from the weather station at Agadir Inezgane, run by the national weather service. It is a regional reference, not a station on the beach in Taghazout. The numbers are averages and not a forecast, and they are not the measured values of 2026. Monthly sea temperature figures are not given on this page, because wetsuit advice is a more useful guide to how cold the water feels.

| Month | High °C | Low °C | Rain mm | Wetsuit (one school) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 21.1 | 8.4 | 31.6 | 3/2 mm full suit |
| February | 22.0 | 10.2 | 28.6 | 3/2 mm full suit |
| March | 23.4 | 12.3 | 31.3 | 3/2 mm or 2/2 mm short sleeves |
| April | 23.2 | 14.1 | 13.8 | 3/2 mm or 2/2 mm short sleeves |
| May | 24.2 | 15.9 | 5.4 | Shorty or shorts |
| June | 25.6 | 18.1 | 0.8 | Shorty or shorts |
| July | 26.7 | 19.2 | 0.2 | Shorty or shorts |
| August | 27.0 | 19.5 | 3.1 | Shorty or shorts |
| September | 26.1 | 18.6 | 3.7 | Shorty or shorts |
| October | 26.1 | 16.7 | 21.2 | Shorty or shorts |
| November | 24.1 | 12.9 | 42.3 | 3/2 mm full suit |

Another school, The Pearl, recommends a 3/2 mm suit in autumn and a 4/3 mm suit in winter. The two schools disagree about winter, so if you feel the cold, take the thicker suit. Wetsuit advice is a school's recommendation, not a standard, and it does not guarantee that you stay warm.

Best time to visit by purpose
The answer depends on what you want to do.
Surfing on the point breaks
One school describes the winter surf season as October to March, when the point breaks work. In the warm half of the year it describes smaller to medium swells. That is a provider description, not a forecast for a given day. Anchor Point and Killer Point are for experienced surfers whatever the month. See the surf guide.
Beginners and lessons
There is no single best month for beginners. Sandy beaches such as Devil's Rock are used for lessons, and a school will tell you what the swell allows on your day. Book a week and be flexible about the day.

Heavy rain and flooding
The German Federal Foreign Office lists seasonal flooding in Morocco. Follow local warnings and instructions from the authorities in the wet months.
Earthquakes
The same advice lists a risk of earthquakes in the country. Know the exits of your building and follow instructions if something happens.
