The Lowdown
Alright, let me run through this in feet and degrees. Right now, at Panoramas (beach and reef setup), the water temp is about 71°F, which is about what you’d normally have this time of year – nothing weird.
The first few days are pretty lackluster. From Tuesday the 25th through the rest of that week, you’re looking at swell between 1 ft and 4 ft, but it’s mostly short-period (5-9 seconds) and the wind is constantly chopping things up. The combined energy is weak to moderate – as low as 13 on Thursday morning, and only hitting 163 on Friday afternoon. Not worth paddling out unless you just want to float.
The one day that stands out like a sore thumb is Saturday morning, 29th August. That’s the go. Swell is a clean 4 ft from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. Combined energy is 287 (moderate to strong), and the wind is dead glassy from the SW at just 3 mph. That’s the kind of clean, lined-up surf you dream about. Crowds are a real possibility here, so be early.
After that, it fades fast. Sunday the 30th morning is average (3 ft, glassy, but energy drops to 129). Monday the 31st is small and weak (3 ft, energy 65). Then you hit a long flat spell through the first week of September: swell stays between 2 ft and 4 ft, periods are short, and wind is cross-onshore or straight on most afternoons. Combined energy mostly under 180. There are a couple of glassy mornings (like Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th) but they’re barely worth getting out of bed for – just small, weak leftovers.
So here’s the deal: if you want the best session at Panoramas, set your alarm for Saturday morning, 29th August. Everything else in this 16-day window is filler.

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.
