The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's look at what's on offer for Panoramas.
Right off the bat, it's a bit of a slow start. The first solid recommendation isn't until Saturday the 22nd of August. Before that, we've got a few days of nothing really worthwhile, just small, poor surf. The water temp is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, around 72°F, so it's pretty pleasant if you're just having a splash.
The standout morning for a proper surf will be on Monday the 24th of August. We've got a NW groundswell rolling in at 3ft with a very nice 11-second period. That longer period means the waves will have some push behind them and better shape. The wind is glassy out of the west at just 3 mph, so the surface will be clean as a whistle. The combined energy is moderate at 205, so there's some punch there. It's a beach and reef setup, so those long-period swells should line up nicely enough. It’s consistently breaking, so you won’t be waiting forever. Just a heads up, it can get crowded here sometimes.
You’ll also want to keep an eye on Saturday the 29th of August. The morning glass-off looks good, with a 4ft NW swell and a 9-second period giving it some decent shape and moderate energy at 202. The afternoon sees the swell bump up to 5ft and the energy really builds to a strong 620. The wind goes cross-on, so it won't be perfect, but that's some solid, powerful surf on offer for the more experienced crew if you can find a clean peak.
For the rest of the period, it's mostly small to medium NW swell but the winds are a bit off, keeping things ordinary. The 31st of August and 1st of September have glassy mornings with 3ft swell and an 8-second period, which are surfable but nothing that'll get the heart racing. The combined energy is in the low to moderate range for those. After that, into the first week of September, it's more of the same – small, messy, and not really worth getting excited about. Keep the board waxed and hope the forecasts shift.
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.
