The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's on the cards for Panoramas.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and ordinary. We've got a consistent, but small, NW swell direction, and the water temp is sitting right around 71°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The real issue is that the swell energy is just weak for the most part, and the wind is rarely playing ball.
There's a bit of a gap at the start, with nothing really worth paddling out for on Friday afternoon. The first real chance to get wet comes on Saturday morning, the 15th of August. We're looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the NW with a short 9-second period, and the energy is a measly 96 (weak). But the wind is glassy – absolutely dead calm – so it'll be clean. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary. That glassy spell pops up again on Sunday morning, the 16th, with a similar 3ft NW swell. Both mornings are your best bets, but you'll be working for scraps.
After that, it's a long stretch of poor conditions. The wind turns cross-on and the surf stays small and weak. The afternoons from the 17th through to the 20th are all no-go with choppy, bumpy conditions. The wave energy dips into the 30s and 40s (weak) – it's a tough slog.
We get another couple of glassy windows on the mornings of the 21st and 22nd of August. On the 21st, it's a 2ft NW swell, and on the 22nd, a 3ft NW swell. Both will be clean, but again, the swell is small and weak. The standout energy finally shows up on the afternoon of the 22nd, with a 4ft NW swell and a combined energy of 174 (moderate), but the wind is a cross-on 10 mph, so the quality is poor.
The pattern continues into the last week of August. The glassy mornings are the only saving grace. The 24th, 25th, 27th, 28th, and 29th all have clean, glassy mornings with small, weak NW swell, ranging from 3ft to 4ft. The afternoons are consistently ruined by cross-onshore winds. The biggest swell energy we see is on the 25th afternoon with a 5ft NW swell and a combined energy of 250 (moderate), but again, the wind kills it.
Honestly, the best windows are those early glassy mornings, especially the 15th, 16th, 22nd, and 24th. Even then, it's a one-star session at best. It's all about being patient and catching the cleanest scraps. If you're after any real power or shape, you'll be waiting a while.

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.
