The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at the surf outlook for the next sixteen days.
Let’s be straight with you. The first couple of weeks are a real grind. The energy is weak, the wind keeps messing with it, and we’re scrapping for anything rideable. It’s not until we get into the last week of July that the ocean finally wakes up a bit.
We start off on Friday, July 17th, at Panoramas. It’s a beach and reef setup, and it’s consistent, but the conditions are touch and go. Friday morning is the best of the early days with a glassy 2ft NW swell. The water temp is sittin’ at 70°, which is bang on average for this time of year – feels like home. The energy is low though, only a 67 (weak) on the combined energy scale. After that, the wind swings and the conditions get ordinary.
The weekend of the 18th and 19th is a write-off. The swell is there, but the wind is cross-on, and the surf quality is just poor. Saturday morning is totally unknown, and the rest of the time we’re dealing with a light cross-onshore chop. The energy stays in the weak to moderate range, peaking at 122 on Sunday afternoon, but the wind ruins it.
The whole next week, from the 20th to the 26th, is a rinse and repeat. The swell is small, between 2ft and 4ft, and mostly from the NW. The wind is consistently cross-on or cross-shore, keeping the surface messy. The energy rarely breaks out of the weak range, and the surf conditions are marked as poor for almost every session. There are a few glassy pockets on the Tuesday and Sunday mornings, but the waves are so ordinary it’s hard to get excited.
Now, here’s the light at the end of the tunnel. We finally get a proper bump on Monday, July 27th. The morning is glassy with a 4ft NW swell. The period jumps to 9 seconds, and the energy hits 247 (moderate). That’s the best-looking session in the whole run. The wind is glassy, so the conditions will be clean. The break is fairly exposed to the NW swell, which is the optimum direction, so it’ll be hitting well. The afternoon is a bit of a question mark with an onshore wind, but the morning is the standout.
Tuesday, July 28th, has a similar morning setup – glassy with 4ft NW swell and an energy of 237. Another solid option if you miss the Monday. After that, we fade out again. The 29th has a glassy morning but the swell drops to 3ft, and then the wind gets nasty on the 30th and 31st with fresh westerlies ruining the surface.
So, the call is this: if you’ve got a board, you’re waiting for the morning of Monday, July 27th, and Tuesday, July 28th. That’s the best of it. The rest of the time, you’re better off doing something else.
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.
