The Lowdown
Rusty here, and I’ve been checking the forecast for Panoramas. It’s a classic beach and reef spot that needs a proper NW swell to get going, and thankfully, we’ve got a couple of chances if you’re willing to be picky. The water is sitting at about 72°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice start.
Looking at the overall picture for the next 16 days, it’s a real mixed bag. Lots of small surf and cross-shore winds, but there are a few bright spots. The first morning, Saturday the 12th of September, shows a tiny 3ft NW swell with a short 8-second period, combined energy at a weak 71. It’s glassy, but the waves are just too ordinary to get excited about.
The first real standout you need to pencil in is Wednesday the 16th of September afternoon. The swell jumps to 5ft from the NW, and the combined energy hits a moderate 252. The problem? The wind swings to NNW at 30 km/h, creating a lumpy, choppy mess. Not worth it.
Saturday the 19th of September morning is a better bet if you’re desperate. That 3ft NW swell with a 9-second period, energy at 146, and it’s glassy with barely a breath of wind. It’s clean, but small.
Now, the session to really save your energy for is Tuesday the 22nd of September morning. This is the pick of the forecast. The swell is from that optimum NW direction, about 2ft, but with a very long 15-second period. That means more power, better shape, and longer lulls between sets. The combined energy is a solid 220, and conditions are absolute glass with a light 5 km/h wind. Because the swell period is so long, this reef and beach set-up should produce some great, lined-up waves. Keep in mind crowds are possible here sometimes, so plan accordingly.
After that, the wave heights drop off quickly and the winds turn onshore or cross-shore, making things messy right through to the end of the 16-day window. That Tuesday morning is your best shot.
Stay sharp, and don’t sleep on that 22nd.

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.
