The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Panoramas. It’s a beach and reef setup, open to the north-west, and the water temp is about normal for this time of year.
The first week is a total bust. From Wednesday the 12th through Sunday the 16th, we’ve got a tiny swell and a constant cross-onshore wind messing it up. The wave energy is weak, from 61 to 313 (combined energy), and the swell height barely hits 4 feet by Saturday afternoon, but it’s still choppy. The wind is from the SSW or WNW, just keeping it ugly. It’s not rideable. Even Saturday morning with a slight air still has cross-on, so no dice. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a real drought.
We get a tiny window on Tuesday the 18th morning. The swell drops to 2 feet from the NW, but the wind goes glassy. That’s the only clean session. The energy is weak (66), but glassy is glassy. The crowds are sometimes an issue, but on a Tuesday morning, you might be alone.
After that, it’s back to the same. The rest of the week into the weekend is mostly glassy mornings, but the swell is tiny – 1 to 2 feet – and the wind picks up in the afternoon. By the 21st and 22nd, we get a little more energy (up to 102), but the wind turns moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy and ordinary.
The only real standout is Tuesday the 18th morning. It’s the only time the conditions are clean. The swell is 2 feet from the NW, period 9 seconds, so it’s a weak groundswell. The glassy wind is the only thing making it worth a look. For a beach and reef, that 9-second period is okay, but it’s not going to be powerful.
Looking into the second week, it’s more of the same. The 22nd and 23rd mornings have glassy winds and a bit more swell (2 to 3 feet), but the energy is still moderate. The 25th Tuesday morning has a glassy start with 3 feet, period 7 seconds, which is short-period junk. Not great. The 26th Wednesday morning picks up to 3 feet but the cross-on wind ruins it again.
Bottom line: no big swell on the horizon. The entire 16 days is a struggle. For a consistent spot like Panoramas, this is a long, poor run. The glassy mornings are your only chance to get a few tiny, clean ones. It’s not worth planning for.
Rusty out.

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.
