Best Time to Visit Agadir: Month-by-Month Guide (2025)

Agadir's biggest secret is this: there is no bad time to visit. The Atlantic coast climate keeps temperatures between 18°C and 28°C year-round, with over 300 days of sunshine annually. Rain is rare and brief. That said, each season brings something different and your best month depends on what you are coming for.

Agadir has one of the most consistent climates of any beach destination in Europe and North Africa. Even January, the coolest month, averages 18°C and 8 hours of sunshine per day.
