Conditions at Agadir in August
August: Late Summer Texture
August looks very similar to July, but with a slight shift toward better surf. The average swell is still 1.6m (5ft), and the period edges up to 8.2s. Swell direction remains overwhelmingly NNW at 93.8%, with NW at just 3.2%; the westerly groundswell window that really suits Agadir is still missing. Wind quality remains moderate: W wind dominates at 21.4%, WSW at 15.2%, and ideal offshore wind improves marginally to 27%. The water is at its warmest for the summer - 18.7C - while air temperatures hold near 29.1C with dry, sunny conditions. There are still plenty of small, windswell-affected days, but the longer period and occasional late-summer Atlantic pulse can produce clean, rippable 3-5ft (1-1.5m) peaks, especially on the dawn patrol. August is manageable, but you're still waiting for autumn.
