The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag for Panoramas (beach and reef). There’s a lot of waiting around for the magic to line up, but if you’re patient, there’s a real beauty hiding in the back half of the outlook.
We kick off on Monday, 31st August, with a bit of a whisper. The morning is glassy, dead calm, with a small 3ft NW swell pushing in at 8 seconds. It’s surfable, but very ordinary – the combined energy is only 91 (weak), so it feels pretty gutless. The afternoon turns into a write-off with a cross-on breeze.
Tuesday and Wednesday look flat and messy. The swell tries to pick up a touch, hitting 4ft on Tuesday morning, but the wind is all over the shop – cross-shore and then cross-on. The energy bumps up to 487 (moderate) on Tuesday afternoon, but with that wind, it’s a chop-fest. Not worth paddling out.
Thursday the 3rd through to the start of the second week is a real dry spell. We’re talking tiny, weak waves – 1ft to 2ft – with pretty much nothing to write home about. The wind is glassy a few mornings, but the swell just isn’t there. Thursday morning the 3rd is glassy with 2ft, but the energy is only 77 (weak). It’s a long, flat stretch.
There’s a glimmer on Sunday the 6th – glassy morning again, 2ft from the NW, energy 70 (weak). Still just surfable, not fun. The pattern repeats until we hit the real standout.
And here it is – mark your calendars for Tuesday, 15th September. The morning is where it’s at. The wind is glassy, dead calm, and a solid 2ft NW groundswell rolls in with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy jumps to 301 (moderate), and the forecast is expecting good surf conditions. That’s a proper groundswell, which means long, clean lines and easy paddling between sets. It’s a little small in height, but that period and the glass – that’s the pick of the whole forecast. This is the one to hold out for. The water temp is sitting at 70°, right on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The afternoon of the 15th goes to pot with a fresh cross-on, so get your session in early.
Overall, this is a waiting game. There’s a lot of flat and ordinary days, but that Tuesday morning is a genuine standout. Keep an eye on it, but remember, it’s a long way out – forecasts can wobble.

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.
