The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at Panoramas. It’s a beach and reef setup, pretty consistent, and it’s fairly exposed to the NW swell. The water temp is running at about 71°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Honestly, the next 16 days are a bit of a struggle. We’ve got a real dry spell at the start—Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st of August are offering nothing but small, messy waves with poor conditions. The swell is small, around 3ft from the NW, and the wind is all over the shop, mostly cross-onshore. It’s not worth paddling out for.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. We’ve got clean conditions with offshore wind from the east at 6 mph, and the swell is 3ft from the NW with a 9-second period. The energy is low though (88), so it’s small, but it’s surfable. It’s not a standout, but it’s the first window where you might get a few little ones.
The absolute best of the bunch? I’d put my money on Saturday morning, the 5th of September. It’s glassy, dead calm wind, and the swell is coming from the NW at 1ft but with a long period of 12 seconds. That longer period gives the waves a bit more shape and punch, despite the small size. The energy is low (79), but with glassy conditions and a clean lineup, it’ll be a fun little session for a log or a mid-length. No crowds to worry about either, since it’s a “sometimes” spot.
After that, we’ve got a few more clean mornings—Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th of September, both glassy with small NW swells around 1ft to 2ft. The energy stays low, but the conditions are clean. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s better than a day at work.
The middle of the second week (around the 10th to the 14th of September) keeps the same pattern: tiny NW swells, mostly under 3ft, and a few glassy mornings. The energy never really gets above 100 (combined energy in the 60s-90s range), so it’s all small-scale stuff. There’s a slight uptick on Monday the 14th morning with 3ft NW swell and 8-second period, energy hitting 101, and glassy conditions—that’s probably the best of the second week, but still very small.
Overall, don’t expect any pumping days. The swell stays small, the energy is weak, and the wind is a mixed bag. If you’ve got a big board and low expectations, hit the glassy mornings. Otherwise, it’s a quiet period for Panoramas.

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.
