The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about Panoramas.
Look, I’ll be straight with you—this stretch ahead is a tough one. The swell is small and weak, and the wind keeps messing it up. The energy never really gets going, with combined swell readings hanging in the double digits or just barely cracking triple digits, topping out at a weak 286 (moderate energy) on the 2nd of September, but with a cross-onshore wind ruining it. The water is sitting at 72°, which is about a degree warmer than normal for this time of year, so not a big deal.
There’s a gap of a few days with absolutely nothing surfable. The first real chance comes on the morning of Friday the 28th of August. You’ve got a tiny 3ft NW swell, but the wind is glassy, so it’s clean. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s pretty weak. The combined energy is only 91, so barely a pulse. It’s surfable, but only just.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. The swell is 4ft from the NW, but the period jumps to 11 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. That gives it a bit more shape and punch, and the combined energy is 249 (moderate). The wind is glassy again, so it’ll be clean. For a beach and reef setup, that longer period can make it a bit straight, but for a small morning session, it’s the best you’ll get. The direction is spot-on from the NW, which is the optimum for this break.
After that, it’s a real grind. The morning of Sunday the 6th of September has a 1ft NW swell with glassy wind, but it’s just too small. The 7th of September morning is similar, with a 1ft NW swell and glassy conditions, but again, barely a ripple. The energy is only 50.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, the only thing worth paddling out for is that Saturday morning session. The rest is a write-off. If you’re a beginner, keep an eye on the swell size—it never gets above 4ft, so it’s safe for learning, but the quality is so poor it’s hardly worth it. For the experts, there’s nothing here to get excited about.
For kite surfers, the afternoons with the cross-onshore winds and small chop might be more interesting than paddling a surfboard.
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.
