The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. It’s Rusty here.
To be straight with you, the outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a flat patch. The only break with any real data is Panoramas, and honestly, the options are slim. The first solid day to even think about is Sunday the 26th, but that’s still a week away, so you’ll be waiting a while.
The water temp at Panoramas is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than what we usually get this time of year. Not a big deal, but it’s a little treat.
For the first week, from Monday the 20th through Saturday the 25th, it’s mostly a write-off. Swell is tiny, mostly around 3ft to 4ft from the NW, with a short 8-second period, so the waves are weak and lacking any punch. The combined wave energy is mostly in the low triple digits (100-143), which is just moderate. The wind is a constant cross or cross-on breeze, just enough to put a little bump on the surface. The forecast keeps saying "poor surf conditions" and I’m not going to argue with it.
The one highlight in this whole two-week stretch, and it’s a very small one, is the Sunday morning of the 26th of July. The wind goes glassy, which is a rare treat here. The swell is still only 4ft and NW, but with that glassy surface, the weak waves will at least look clean. It’s rated as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so don’t expect much. The combined energy is 184, still moderate. It’s the best on offer, but that’s not saying a lot.
The following week, from the 27th of July onward, the swell drops even further. We’re looking at 2ft to 3ft, with periods as low as 6 seconds. The energy numbers drop into the double digits (42-88), which is weak. The wind is all over the place, but mostly cross-on or onshore, so it’s going to be messy. There’s a moment on the morning of the 1st of August where it’s glassy again, with 3ft NW swell and 148 energy, but that’s over a week and a half away, and I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the glassy mornings on the 26th of July or the 1st of August are your only real shots. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. The setup at Panoramas, being a beach and reef, doesn’t look like it’ll hold anything interesting with this kind of weak, short-period NW swell. It might be more of a kite-surfing spot if the wind picks up, but for us paddle surfers, it’s a struggle.
Stay salty, and I’ll talk to you next time.

Information about the Panoramas Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Panoramas provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Panoramas can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Panoramas surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Panoramas) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Panoramas may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Panoramas is 6 km (4 miles) from the city of Agadir. If you plan a holiday in Central Morocco, look for hotels and other accommodation in Agadir. Agadir has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
