The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you: it’s a rough start. The first few days are pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at a stretch of quiet, messy conditions through to the end of the week and into the weekend. The swell is small, mostly under 3ft, coming from the NW but with a short period around 7-8 seconds, so it’s lacking any real punch. The wind is a mixed bag, but most of the time it’s cross-on or just plain messy, making for poor surf conditions. The only real shining moments are a few glassy mornings, like Thursday the 16th and Saturday the 18th, but even then the swell is just too weak to get excited about (combined energy of all swells directed here is only 49 and 63). The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Now, for Panoramas (beach and reef), it’s a consistent spot, but it’s really struggling. The swell direction is NW, which is pretty much straight on for this break, and the short period means the waves are going to be weak and crumbly. There’s a bit of a bump in the afternoon on Thursday the 23rd, with the swell nudging up to 4ft and the combined energy jumping to 307, but the wind is cross-on, so it’s still a bit of a fight. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most of these days.
The standout, if you can call it that, comes much later in the window. On Saturday the 25th of July, the afternoon session sees a solid bump in swell height to 6ft, with a combined energy of 743, which is a moderate surge. The period is still only 8 seconds, so it’s a bit wind-swell-ish, but that’s the biggest wave we see in the whole run. The catch is the wind is cross-on, so it’s not going to be perfect. If you’re an expert and you’re desperate for a bigger wave, that’s your window. But for beginners, that 6ft is going to be too much, especially with the cross-on wind.
The last few days of the month, from the 28th onward, we drop back into small, weak territory. There’s a glassy morning on the 29th, but the swell is only 2ft, so it’s more of a paddling pool than a surf spot.
Overall, this is a lean period. There’s one real standout on the 25th of July afternoon, but it’s not a clean, perfect day. The rest is a lot of waiting for something that just isn’t coming. The forecast can change, but for now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
