The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve been looking at Panoramas for the next couple of weeks. To be blunt, it’s a pretty grim forecast. Small, weak surf and dodgy wind for most of it. If you’re hoping for a classic session, you’re going to be disappointed. There’s a couple of tiny windows, but nothing to write home about.
The best bet of the whole stretch is the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. You’ll get a tiny 2ft swell from the NW with a short 7-second period. The combined wave energy is weak at only (67). The only reason this is the pick is the wind – it’s glassy, dead calm. Zero wind means the surface will be like a mirror. For a beach and reef spot, that’s a massive win. It’ll be clean, even if it’s barely cracking a foot. Perfect for a log or a soft-top.
There are a few other mornings worth a look if you're keen. Monday the 24th has 3ft from the NW with a slightly longer 11-second period, giving it a bit more grunt, energy at (209), and the same glassy conditions. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th also have glassy starts with small 2-3ft waves.
Now, the biggest pulse of the forecast hits the afternoon of Friday the 28th. Swell jumps to 5ft from the NNW, with the combined energy jumping to (564) – that’s moderate energy. But, and it’s a big but, the wind is a light cross-onshore. That 5ft is going to be choppy and crumbly. That size is for the experienced crew only; the beach and reef combo with onshore wind is a recipe for a washing machine.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing special.
After that first week, it’s a long, sad stretch. From Sunday the 30th all the way to Saturday the 5th of September, it’s tiny, weak swell from the NW with bone-headed cross or cross-onshore winds every day. Wave energy stays in the weak range (50-150). There are no standout days in the second week; it’s just a flat, choppy mess.
If you absolutely have to get wet, get up early on those few glassy mornings in the first week. Otherwise, leave the board in the car. This is one of those spells where you just wait for the next weather system. Might be better for the kite boarders when the afternoon breeze kicks in.
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.
