The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the noise and talk about what’s on offer at Panoramas. The honest truth is, this is a tough stretch. We’ve got a long gap of nothing but poor surf conditions stretching from now right through until the very end of the month. The water is sitting at a pretty normal 72°F for this time of year, so you won’t need a thicker suit, but you will need a lot of patience.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Saturday, the 29th of August. The morning session is the standout. We’ve got a tiny 0.9ft of swell pushing in from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is glassy, making it clean. The combined energy is weak (115), so don’t expect any power. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. It’s the best we’ve got.
After that, it’s right back into the same old story. The onshore cronk ruins the shape for the rest of the week. The next morning that’s worth a look is Wednesday, the 2nd of September. Again, first light. We’ve got 0.9ft from the NW at 8 seconds, with glassy conditions. Same weak energy (104). It’s another window of clean, small, average waves.
That’s the pick of the litter. Two mornings, about four days apart, that offer a chance to get wet on clean, but very small surf. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off. It’s a frustrating pattern, but for this area, a blank run like this isn’t unusual. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, leave the big boards in the car.
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.
