The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Strap in, 'cause it's gonna be a slow one at first.
The start of the period is mostly just a whole lot of nothing. We've got some weak, short-period slop showing on the 16th, but it's mostly crossed-up and junky, even if there's a clean glass-out in the morning. The energy is weak, in the low hundreds, and it's just not doing much. We see some clean mornings through the 17th and 18th, but the swell is tiny, and the quality is average. This is a straight-up longboard or funboard zone right now.
Here’s the deal, we're entering a serious dry spell. From the 20th through the end of the week, the ocean just goes quiet. We’re looking at a big gap with barely a ripple, with energy readings bottoming out to single digits at times. Not much is making the call worth it. It's a real lull, and this can happen here. It's not super pretty when we have no swell and onshore junk. You're better off just waiting it out. For sure.
Then, just when you're about to write this week off completely, there's a flicker of serious hope way out in the future. Around the 29th, a very long-period (15 second) swell from the west-northwest starts to fill in. The energy jumps way up to 256 on the 29th morning and peaks at 388 on the 29th afternoon. That's the real deal. It's a strong signal, but a long, clean window like this one is best for the point breaks, not so much a beach setup like this. The waves will be solid, chest to head high, so it's a proper session for the experienced crew. Keep an eye on the 30th, but it's not going to be the best due to onshore winds.
So, the call is simple: right now, it's flat. The standout day is the 29th of September, a Monday. It's far out, so don't hold your breath, but it's got decent size and that longer period might just be the key to a memorable session. Everything else is a scratch-fest.
Remember, the water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing crazy there.
Catch you in the water.
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.
