The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Panoramas.

It's a pretty sluggish start, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We're looking at a beach and reef setup that's fairly exposed here, picking up mainly NW swells. For the first several days, the energy is just too weak to get excited about. From Tuesday the 18th right through until Saturday the 22nd, the wave heights are tiny, mostly under 3 feet, and the combined energy is low (under 205). The Thursday afternoon on the 20th sees a little pulse of energy (131), but it's a short period 10 second swell with a cross-offshore wind, so it'll be messy. Not worth getting wet for.

The weekend and into next week doesn't offer much relief either. Sunday morning the 23rd is the first time we see a "surfable" tag, but it's only 3 feet with a weak 87 energy reading. It's glassy though, so if you're absolutely desperate, you could get a few soft ones. Monday morning the 24th is similar with 3 feet and glassy conditions (117 energy), but it's still ordinary.

The real story here is the lack of any proper punch. The swell direction (NW) does match the optimum direction for the spot, which is a positive, but the size is just not there. This is a consistent break, so it's a bit of a bummer. The water temperature feels about average for this time of year, nothing crazy.

If you're a beginner, the tiny swells under 5 feet will be fine, but there's nothing to ride. For everyone else, you're looking at flat spells and weak, short-period leftovers. The best of a bad bunch is probably the Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th mornings when it's glassy and you can at least get a few small, clean waves. Even then, don't expect much.

Don't hold your breath for the second week. It stays small and unremarkable right through to Wednesday the 2nd of September. A few more "surfable" windows pop up on the mornings of the 27th, 28th, and 2nd, but they are all under 3 feet and lacking any real energy.

In short, it's a long, flat run. For this area, a blank spell like this is not unusual. Keep an eye on the charts, but don't plan your life around it.

Rusty.

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.
