The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Panoramas.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – there’s no real juice in the tank for the first part of this outlook. The small swell shows up, but the conditions are just ordinary, and the scores are low. It’s a waiting game.
We start seeing a bit of life on Thursday morning, August 13th. The swell is small at 2ft out of the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds. Not gonna knock your socks off, but the wind is glassy and that’s a major positive. The combined energy is weak (92), so it’s not powerful, but it’s clean. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 72°F.
Friday morning, August 14th, is another glassy window. The swell is 3ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, with a combined energy of 157 (moderate). The sets will be small but clean, and the early session will be the one to beat.
The pick of the whole run, though, is Saturday morning, August 15th. Glassy wind again, with the swell nudging up to 3ft out of the NW, period 8 seconds, and combined energy hitting 118 (moderate). The morning should offer the best shaped, cleanest little waves of the entire 16 days. After that, the wind gets messy.
Sunday morning, August 16th, is clean again (glassy, 3ft, NW, 104 energy), but after that, it’s a long, dry spell. From the afternoon of the 16th right through to Saturday morning, August 22nd, the conditions are poor or the surf is too small to bother with. That’s a solid gap of several days.
Saturday morning, August 22nd, we get a brief reprieve: glassy, 3ft out of the NW, period 7 seconds, but the energy is weak (81). Worth a look if you’re keen for a paddle, but it’s not the standout.
Sunday morning, August 23rd, is similar – glassy, 3ft, NW, 8 seconds, 81 energy – but again, it’s small.
The very end of the run, Thursday morning, August 27th, shows a bit of a pulse: 3ft from the NW, period 10 seconds, and combined energy of 157 (moderate). The wind is onshore though, so it’s a bit of a tease. If the wind swings, it could be fun, but it’s a long-range call and not certain.
Overall, don’t get your hopes up for anything big. The best bet is the Saturday morning glass-off window on the 15th. That’s the one to mark on the calendar. Everything else is small and clean at best, or small and choppy.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the sky.
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.
