Table - best surf conditions forecast for Panoramas over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. It’s a slow start. The first real chance of anything decent is Monday the 24th, but even that’s not big – it’s more about the clean conditions.
Panoramas is the only spot. It’s a beach and reef break, consistent, and the swell is coming from the NW, which is its optimum. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
Monday the 24th morning: Swell is 3ft from the NW, period 11 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. Combined energy is moderate (237). Wind is glassy, light from the SSW at 3 mph. That’s your best window. Clean, but the waves are small – 3ft. Surfable, but very ordinary. Good for a longboard or a fish.
Tuesday the 25th drops off. Swell 3ft, 9 second period, wind goes cross-on. Not good.
Wednesday the 26th morning is glassy again with 2ft swell and 8 second period – weak energy (57). Clean but tiny.
Thursday the 27th is a write-off. Afternoon has 4ft but period is only 7 seconds and wind is cross-on. Choppy.
Friday the 28th morning – glassy again, 3ft, 8 seconds, energy 129. Clean but small.
Saturday the 29th morning has the biggest swell of the run at 4ft, 10 second period, energy 262. But the wind is cross-on from the SSW. That messes it up.
Sunday the 30th morning – glassy, 3ft, 10 seconds, energy 235. Same story: clean but small.
Monday the 31st morning has a cross-off wind from the SE, so it’s clean, but swell is only 3ft, 8 seconds.
Tuesday the 1st of September morning – glassy again, 3ft, 8 seconds. Energy 138. Clean but not punchy.
Wednesday the 2nd of September morning – dead calm, zero wind, glassy, 3ft, 8 seconds. Still just ordinary.
From there it trails off. Thursday the 3rd through Monday the 7th – all small, mostly under 3ft, with only occasional glassy mornings giving clean but weak surf.
Standout: Monday the 24th morning at Panoramas. Glassy wind, 3ft NW groundswell at 11 seconds – that’s the cleanest combo in the whole 16 days. It’s not big, but it’ll be the most fun.
Everything else is too small, too onshore, or too weak. Beginners are fine – nothing over 5ft. The longer period (11 seconds) will give better shaped waves at this reef-beach setup, with longer lulls between sets, making paddling out easier.
No kite-surfing conditions – wind’s too light.
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.
