Conditions at Agadir in January
January: Deep Winter Power
January is prime time at Agadir. The North Atlantic is roaring, and the average swell height sits at a solid 2.2m (7ft) with a powerful 13.3s period. Swell direction is dominated by the north-west quadrant - NW at 32.5%, NNW at 28.7% and the more favourable WNW still contributing 9.3%. This is true winter groundswell, generated by the stampede of mid-latitude cyclones moving between Greenland, the Azores and the Bay of Biscay. The period is long enough to hold its shape into the bay, and the WSW-facing beach will light up when the swell angle carries a westerly component. Winds are clean too: ideal offshore flow from the NE through ESE quadrant blows 58% of the time, grooming the swell into tidy peaks. Water temperature is 17.4C, air averages 13.8C, and rainfall is around 1mm/day, so bring the rubber and enjoy the most consistent, powerful month of the year.
