The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Panoramas over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you — it’s a tough stretch. The 16-day window kicks off Thursday afternoon, 20 August, but there’s not much to get excited about until we hit the following week. Most of the first week is a write-off: small swell, cross-onshore winds, and a lot of time with the combined energy sitting weak — mostly under 100 (57–124 range). The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 72°F, about 2°F above average.
Now, if you’re really keen, there are a couple of mornings that offer a tiny window. Saturday 22 August morning has glassy conditions with 2ft NW swell, period a short 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at 67. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Monday 24 August morning is another glassy chance with a 3ft NW swell, period lifting to 11 seconds, and moderate energy reading 204 — that longer period means the sets will have a bit more push, but it’s still small. Tuesday 25 August morning is also glassy with 3ft NW swell at 9 seconds, energy moderate at 98. These are your best early options, but none are standouts.
Then things get a bit more interesting heading into the end of the first week. Friday 28 August afternoon shows a jump to 5ft NW swell (8 seconds) with a combined energy of 588 — that’s moderate energy, but the wind is light cross-onshore, so expect some texture. It’s marginal, but the size is there. The best of the whole outlook, if you can wait, is Saturday 29 August afternoon: 5ft NW swell, period 9 seconds, energy up to 758, and light cross-onshore wind. That’s the most energy in the whole run, and the swell is solid. It’s still only a marginal call due to the wind, but it’s the pick of the lot.
Beyond that, from Sunday 30 August through to the end of the window on 4 September, it drops back to mostly poor surf. Swell hangs around 3ft to 5ft, but winds are cross or cross-onshore, and energy drops off again. Nothing worth chasing in that second week.
So, if I had to point you to one true standout, it’s that Saturday 29 August afternoon at Panoramas. 5ft NW, decent period, and the most wave energy (758) you’ll see in this stretch. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best on offer. The mornings with glassy conditions earlier in the week are your backup if you can’t wait.
Keep an eye on the forecasts — it’s been a lean run, but it never stays poor for long.
Rusty.

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.
