The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Panoramas – a beach and reef setup, pretty exposed to the NW, and best for intermediate surfers. Water temp is about normal for the season, nothing crazy.
First week is slow, but there are a few windows if you time it right. The real standout is Monday 24th August morning. That’s the one to circle. We’ve got a glassy morning with a light SSW breeze, and a clean 4ft NW swell running at 11 seconds – that’s proper groundswell with some grunt (combined energy of 274). The water will be like glass, making for some of the cleanest waves you’ll see in this stretch. This is the best session, hands down.
Before that, Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd are mostly duds. Saturday morning you might find a tiny 2ft NW swell with glass, but the period’s short (7 seconds) and energy is weak (67). Very ordinary. Sunday morning is even smaller at 2ft with onshore wind – not worth it.
After Monday’s highlight, it’s mostly about the early mornings. Tuesday 25th morning has a 3ft NW swell but onshore wind – poor. Thursday 27th morning is a small 3ft NW swell with glass, but weak energy (55). Friday 28th morning bumps to 3ft NW with glass and moderate energy (135), but still just surfable, not epic.
Into the second week, Wednesday 2nd September morning offers a cleaner look: 3ft NW at 8 seconds with a cross-offshore SSE breeze (energy 132). That’s promising if the forecast holds. Friday 4th September morning has 4ft NW swell (9 seconds, 257 energy) with clean cross-offshore winds from the SE – decent shape but it’s 12 days out, so don’t bank on it yet.
If you can make just one session, make it Monday 24th August morning. That’s the gem. The rest of the time, you’re chasing early glass. Afternoons are mostly a write-off with that cross-onshore breeze. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so get in early on that Monday.
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.
