The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Panoramas over the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water temperature is sitting at 73°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a nice little bonus for the session.
So, the honest truth is, the next week and a bit is looking pretty average. We've got a long stretch from Monday the 24th of August right through to the morning of Monday the 7th of September where the surf is either poor or just ordinary. The wave energy is weak to moderate at best, with readings mostly in the double digits or low hundreds (e.g. 365, 159, 116). The swell direction is consistently from the NW, which is the optimum direction for this spot, but the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy.
There are a few fleeting moments of glassy conditions, like on the morning of Wednesday the 26th of August, but the swell is only 2ft with a weak energy of 55, so it's just small and ordinary. The morning of Friday the 28th of August is also glassy with 3ft of NW swell and 96 energy, but again, it's just surfable, not exciting.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Monday the 7th of September. We've got a completely different swell direction, coming from the W, with a very long period of 18 seconds – that's a proper groundswell. The energy jumps to 340 (moderate), and the wind is glassy. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The swell is 2ft, so it's not huge, but that long period will pack a punch and deliver some nice, clean lines. Because it's a long period groundswell, it might be a bit too straight for the beach breaks, but at Panorama's beach and reef setup, it should wrap in nicely. This is a promising but less certain call being so far out, but it's easily the best on offer.
The morning of Tuesday the 8th of September also has a nice long-period W groundswell (15 seconds) with 455 energy, but the wind is cross-shore, so it's a little less clean.
Other than that, the rest of the second week is a write-off with poor conditions. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, you're looking at a long wait for that Monday morning session.
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.
