The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for Panoramas over the next couple of weeks.
The outlook is a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. There's always a little pulse of swell, but the wind is the real story here. The consistent NW groundswell is there, but for the most part, it's getting chopped up by cross-onshore winds. You'll find clean conditions at specific times, mainly in the early mornings, but they don't last long before the breeze picks up.
The water temperature is sitting at 71°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than normal for this time of year. It feels pleasant enough, but nothing to write home about.
Let's start with Saturday the 18th. The morning is your only real shot. We've got a glassy surface and a small 2ft NW swell, period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at 59. It's surfable, but very ordinary. That afternoon the wind swings onshore and ruins it.
Sunday the 19th through to Thursday the 24th is a similar story each day. Mornings offer a fleeting chance with light or glassy conditions, like on Tuesday the 21st morning with a clean 3ft NW swell, but the overall energy is still weak at 70. Then the afternoon cross-on wind kicks in and turns it into a messy, choppy affair. There are a few mornings like Friday the 24th with glassy conditions and a 3ft NW swell, but the energy is still low at 69. Nothing to get too excited about.
Now, it starts to get a bit more interesting towards the end of the first week. Sunday the 26th morning is glassy with a 3ft NW swell, but the energy is building to a moderate 138. That’s a step up. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th mornings are also glassy, with swells building to 4ft and 4ft respectively, and energy levels climbing to 180 and 201. These are the true standouts – clean, building swell, and light winds. But don't blink, because on Monday afternoon the wind absolutely howls from the NNW at 28 mph, creating a messy cross-chop with a 6ft swell. That’s for experts only, and even then, it's not going to be pretty.
The second week starts to taper off. From Wednesday the 29th, the wind becomes more of an issue again with cross and cross-onshore winds. Thursday the 30th morning looks promising on paper with a glassy 4ft NW swell and moderate energy at 188, but the consistency drops off quickly after that. The last few days of July into the start of August see the swell drop right back to 2ft to 3ft, with weak energy below 50, and only a brief glassy window on Sunday the 2nd afternoon.
Overall, there are a few windows of opportunity, but you have to be prepared to be on it early in the morning. The best bet is definitely Tuesday the 28th morning, with a clean 4ft NW swell and good energy. Monday the 27th and Sunday the 26th mornings are also worth setting the alarm for. After that, it's a waiting game until a new swell fills in.

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.
