The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on the menu for Panoramas over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, we're looking at a long, slow stretch of small surf and tricky conditions. This isn't a classic period for the spot, but there are a few tiny windows where it might be worth a paddle.
We start with the good news: the water is sitting at 73°F, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't freeze waiting for a set.
Right off the bat, it’s a quiet start. For the first several days, from Tuesday the 11th right through to the end of next week, the consistent NW swell is small, hanging mostly around 2ft to 3ft. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy figures mostly well under 100 – the numbers are 61, 59, 64 – so nothing is really pushing in. On top of that, the wind is almost constantly cross-onshore from the WNW, making for choppy, rippled-out surfaces. It's a lot of work for very little reward.
You'll see a couple of brief moments of calm though. On the mornings of Friday the 14th, Monday the 17th, and Tuesday the 18th, the wind drops to glassy conditions with a light SW wind. The swell remains tiny at 2ft from the NW, coming in with a fair period of 9 seconds. This gives you small, clean, weak waves. It’s surfable, but don't expect anything with any push. The combined energy is still very low (93, 69, 103). It's a good time for a longboard or a foiler if you’re desperate.
The weekend of the 22nd and 23rd shows a very slight bump in size. On Saturday the 22nd morning, we get glassy conditions with a 3ft NW swell and a combined energy of 121 (moderate), but it's short period at 7 seconds. Then Sunday the 23rd morning has a clean 4ft NW groundswell with a 9-second period and a light cross-offshore wind. Combined swell energy climbs to 179 (moderate). This is the pick of the fortnight, a moment of decent, clean, waist-high potential. But the crowds may come out for it.
Late on Sunday the 23rd afternoon, the wind cranks up to a near gale from the NNW, and by Monday the 25th we're back to tiny, weak surf. The last few days of the forecast are a fade-out, with waves dropping to 1ft and combined energy falling to just 26. It's a long blank run at the end.
The true standout here is the Sunday the 23rd morning session. That 4ft NW swell at 9 seconds, with that clean cross-offshore wind, is the only time you'll get something worth setting an alarm for. It’s small, but it’ll be the best shaped waves we see. The rest is a bunch of small, choppy, or glassy but powerless days. Keep your expectations real low for this stretch.
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.
