The Lowdown
Right off the bat, the surf is pretty gutless. We’ve got a weak, short-period NW swell pushing in at around 2ft, and while Wednesday morning is glassy, it’s just not doing anything for me. The energy reading is a paltry 55, so it’s barely a ripple. The water’s sitting at 72°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
That Wednesday afternoon breeze is the first real killer though. NNW at 19 mph swings it cross-shore and chops things right up. You’re not missing anything.
Thursday morning cleans up again with glassy conditions and the swell bumps to 3ft, but the period is still a short 8 seconds. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon gets ruined by a 16 mph NW cross-shore.
Friday is the first real tease. Morning glass, swell at 3ft, and the period jumps to 11 seconds. That’s more like it. There’s some energy in the water now (216 combined). Friday morning is your first decent window, but it’s still just "ordinary" quality.
The weekend looks flat and messy. Saturday morning has a bit of swell but the wind goes cross, and Sunday is worse. We’re looking at a few days with nothing worth paddling out for.
Then comes the standout. Saturday the 26th. The swell is only 2ft, but the period is a very long 16 seconds, and it’s glassy in the morning. The energy jumps to 270. That’s proper groundswell. Now, at Panoramas (a beach and reef setup), that long period can make it break a little too straight, but the cleanliness will be there. It’s your best morning of the whole run, but don't expect much size. It’s a clean, small day for a log or a longboard.
After that, it fades. The last few days of September and into October drop right off, with the swell shrinking to 1ft and the wind chopping things up. There’s barely any energy left.
So, bottom line: We’ve got a sluggish start, one half-decent Friday morning, and a genuine, glassy groundswell window on Saturday the 26th that’s worth setting the alarm for. Beyond that, it’s looking pretty quiet. You might get lucky, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
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.
