The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's translate that into feet and miles per hour.
Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are pretty average. We've got a long, quiet period ahead with hardly anything worth paddling out for, especially through the middle of the forecast. But let's dig into what's on offer.
We start off with a bit of hope. The only real action early on is at Panoramas. It's a beach and reef setup that's fairly consistent but right now it's more about the vibe than the juice. Saturday morning, August 15th, sees clean 2 ft NW swell with glassy conditions and weak wave energy (90). It's surfable but very ordinary. That same flat, clean pattern continues through Sunday the 16th morning – same 2 ft NW swell, glassy, still weak energy (83). These are your best windows early on, but honestly, they're just small, gentle sessions for a longboard or a foiling board.
Then we hit a dead zone. From Sunday afternoon the 16th right through to Friday the 21st, it's a string of poor surf. The swell stays tiny, the wind gets messy, and you’re looking at a solid 5-day stretch where there’s nothing to recommend. Even the glassy mornings in there (like Tuesday the 18th and Thursday the 20th) have swell so small it's barely breaking.
Things try to wake up a little on Friday the 21st afternoon. A 4 ft NW swell rolls in with moderate energy (156), but the wind is a cross-on mess at 9 mph from the NW. It's poor, choppy, and ugly. Saturday the 22nd morning cleans up with glassy conditions and a 3 ft NW swell, energy sitting at 112. That's probably the most promising window for a proper surf, but it's still just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – nothing to write home about.
After that, it’s back to mediocrity. The second week (from August 23rd to the 30th) is a real struggle. Swell never really gets above 3 ft, periods are short, and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore. The only flicker of hope is the 30th of August Sunday morning – glassy, 3 ft NW swell, but energy is weak (57). Again, surfable but nothing special.
The standout window, if I'm forced to pick one, is Saturday August 22nd morning. Glassy offshore wind, a clean 3 ft NW swell, and moderate wave energy (112). It's not big, but it'll be the cleanest, most user-friendly session of the whole 16 days for a longboard or mid-length. Don't expect power or barrels.
The rest of the time: poor conditions, tiny waves, onshore junk. If you're a surfer, pick your moments carefully. If you're a kiter, the choppy afternoons with 3ft+ and cross-on wind might actually be more fun than paddling.

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.
