The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the cards for Panoramas over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this isn't our finest hour. The swell is coming from the northwest, which is the right direction for this spot, and it’s fairly exposed to it, so the potential is there. But the reality is, we’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead.
The water temp is sitting at a normal 71°, so no surprises there. The thing is, for the first week or so, every time the swell bumps up, the wind messes it up. We start off on Tuesday the 25th with a 4ft NW swell, but that cross-onshore wind has it choppy and poor. There’s a real drought of quality here. You’re looking at a gap of nearly three days before we even see a "surfable" wave, and even then, it's ordinary.
The first real chance to even paddle out without it being a total mess comes on Friday morning, the 28th of August. It’s glassy, with a tiny 3ft NW swell, but the report calls it "very ordinary conditions". It's not going to be good, just not completely miserable. That afternoon, the swell picks up to 4ft, but the light cross-onshore wind ruins it.
Honestly, we’re waiting all the way until Saturday the 5th of September for a glimmer. That Saturday morning is glassy with a small 2ft NW swell, but again, it's just "surfable". You might get a few grovelly ones.
The only standout, if you can call it that, looks like it’s going to be Sunday the 6th of September. The morning session is looking like the best bet of the entire forecast. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the WNW, but it’s a proper groundswell with a long period of 11 seconds, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as a lake. That combination will give you the cleanest, most lined-up waves you’ll see in this whole outlook, even if they aren't big. The longer period will make paddling out easier and the waves should have some shape. It’s an intermediate spot, so that size is fine.
Later that Sunday afternoon, the size bumps to 3ft from the NW with the same 11-second period, but a moderate cross-shore wind kicks in and chops it up. So, the morning is your window.
For the rest of the second week, it’s more of the same – small pulses of NW swell, but mostly blown out or messy. There are a few glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 8th of September with a 3ft swell, but the conditions are ordinary.
Summary? It’s a quiet spell. The crowds at Panoramas can be an issue sometimes, but I don't think you'll have to fight for waves because there just aren't that many good ones. If you’re desperate for a paddle, aim for the glassy mornings, but don't expect much. The best wave of the window is Sunday the 6th of September morning – get up early for that one. For the rest of it, you might be better off finding something else to do.
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.
