The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at Panoramas are a real mixed bag. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak swell that’s mostly just messy and not worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 72°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s one nice thing if you’re just floating around.
The first real chance to even think about a surf comes on Saturday morning, the 22nd of August. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is glassy. The combined energy is only 99 (weak), so it’s small, but it’s the first time the conditions are clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary.
The next morning that’s worth a mention is Monday the 24th of August. Again, glassy wind, but the swell is a puny 1ft from the NW, period 10 seconds. The energy is tiny at 54 (weak). It’s a glassy morning, but you’ll be bobbing around on knee-high lumps.
Tuesday the 25th of August has a similar story: 2ft NW swell, glassy wind, energy at 65 (weak). You can get a wave, but you won’t be telling your mates about it.
The best on offer in the whole 16-day window is actually the morning of Tuesday the 1st of September. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, and the wind is glassy. The combined energy hits 149 (moderate). This is the standout. It’s still not a screaming day, but it’s the biggest, cleanest slot we’ve got. The crowds here are sometimes an issue, so you might have company.
After that, the afternoons throughout the period are consistently junk. Cross-onshore winds, choppy conditions, and poor surf. We’re looking at a long run of dreary afternoons with no real quality.
Overall, if you’re keen, you’ve got a few glassy mornings with small, weak swell. The 1st of September morning is your best bet. Don’t get your hopes up for anything epic.
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.
