Panoramas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up.

Alright, we’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Panoramas. It’s a beach and reef setup, pretty exposed to the northwest, and it’s a consistent spot. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off, honestly. Friday the 21st has some small, weak swell, but the wind is all over the place and the surf is just poor. Saturday morning the 22nd offers a bit of hope with glassy conditions on a small 2ft NW swell, but it’s really ordinary. Sunday and Monday are similar stories – small, messy, and not worth getting excited about. The combined energy is low, often under 100, so there’s just no punch.

Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are really flat and weak, with the energy dropping as low as 42. You’d be better off taking a few days off.

Now, things start to look a little more interesting from Friday the 28th. The swell picks up a bit, hitting 4ft from the NNW with a moderate energy reading of 376. The wind goes offshore on Friday afternoon, but the surf is still only marginal. Saturday the 29th morning could be your best bet early on – glassy conditions, 4ft NW swell, and a decent energy of 188. It’s still just “surfable” but at least it’s clean.

The real standout looks like Saturday the 5th of September. That morning we’ve got glassy conditions again, a solid 4ft NW swell, and the energy jumps to 230. That’s a proper, clean wave for intermediates. The swell direction (NW) is spot on for what this break likes. The afternoon pushes to 5ft, but the wind goes cross-shore, so the morning is the session to aim for.

Overall, there’s not a lot of juice in the first week, but if you’re patient, the morning of the 29th of August and especially the morning of the 5th of September are the ones to circle. Keep an eye on that long-range date – it’s promising but still a couple of weeks out.

Rusty.
