The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down Panoramas. It’s a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed to the swell, but the next couple weeks look pretty disappointing. The water temp is about average for this time of year, no big anomaly.
Right off the bat, the 19th and 20th are weak and small. Wednesday morning the 19th has a tiny 1ft NW swell with a short 8-second period and a light onshore breeze – combined energy is only 29, barely a ripple. Thursday the 20th morning goes glassy but the swell drops to 1ft and the period collapses to 5 seconds (energy 19). Not worth suiting up.
Friday the 21st morning is the first decent window – *surfable but very ordinary*. You’ve got 3ft NW swell, period up to 7 seconds, and glassy conditions with a light SSW breeze at 3 mph. The energy is 82 – weak, but clean. That’s the best of the first week. You could get a few playful waves if you’re not picky.
The afternoons are a mess. Winds shift NW and pick up to 12 mph, cross-shore, and the energy jumps but the surface gets choppy. That pattern holds through the weekend and into next week: small swell, cross-on winds, and the quality stays poor.
The second week shows a bit more energy but the wind is still a problem. Saturday the 29th morning has a 4ft NW swell with a longer 10-second period (energy 250 – moderate now), but the wind is cross-on from the south at 6 mph. That NW swell direction is exactly what Panoramas wants, but the wind stops it from being good. Tuesday the 1st of September hits 164 energy in the morning (3ft NW swell, cross-shore breeze), but again, not clean.
Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon shows the biggest energy of the whole run – 292 with a 3ft NW swell at 10 seconds – but cross-on winds ruin it.
The only true standout is Friday the 21st morning for a clean, glassy, small-wave session. It’s not pumping, but it’s the best you’ll get. Crowds are possible at Panoramas, but with this quality, don’t expect a crowd.
No classic days here. Just a few small, clean windows. Keep an eye on the long-range but don’t hold your breath. Later – 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.
