What kind of wave is Agadir Beach?
Agadir Beach is a beach break with shifting peaks over sand. Agadir Beach needs a swell from WSW–WNW (240°–300°) at 0.3–1.3 m and 6–13 s to switch on. The wind decides as much as the swell: Agadir Beach holds its shape from the NE–SE sector (45°–135°) and goes ragged once it swings onshore. Agadir's city beach is the softest surf on this coast, sheltered by the harbour wall, and it is the one place here where a first lesson and a hotel are on the same street.
What tide does Agadir Beach work on?
Agadir Beach works at every stage of the tide. Agadir Beach works through the tide, and the waves get softer the further south along the bay you walk, which is why the schools set up at that end. You get into Agadir Beach off the beach and walk out.
Who should surf Agadir Beach, and how busy is it?
Agadir Beach suits beginners and intermediates. Agadir Beach fills up when the forecast is obvious and empties again when it is not. At Agadir Beach the things to watch are swimmers on the beach in season. If Agadir Beach is too big, too crowded or simply wrong on the day, Anza is the nearest useful swap, and a guided session from our own desk puts a local in the water with you rather than sending you out cold.

Agadir Beach surf forecast — quick questions
Can a beginner surf Agadir Beach?
Yes. Agadir Beach breaks over sand and is about as forgiving as this coast gets, which is why first lessons happen here. There is nothing softer nearby to fall back on, so on a big day the honest move is to wait it out or go with an instructor.
How cold is the water at Agadir Beach, and what wetsuit do I need?
The sea off Agadir Beach runs about 17–19 °C from December to March and 21–23 °C in late summer. That is the figure for this whole stretch of coast rather than a reading taken at the spot, so plan on a 4/3 mm wetsuit in winter and a 3/2 mm or a springsuit in September. Today's measured sea temperature is in the live board above this guide.
