Can a beginner surf Panorama Point?

On a small, clean day yes, but with a caveat: Panorama Point breaks over sand with rock underneath, so a beginner belongs on the inside and nowhere near the top of the peak. With any size in it, Agadir Beach is the honest answer.

What board should I bring to Panorama Point?

For Panorama Point, bring a longboard or a mini-mal, because the wave is more about trim than about turns. We hire boards in the village, so the right one can be waiting instead of you paying an airline to carry yours.

What time of year does Panorama Point work best?

Panorama Point is at its best from October to March, when the North Atlantic sends the W–NW groundswell it needs.

How far is Panorama Point from Taghazout village?

Panorama Point is about 7 minutes by road from Taghazout village. We drive this coast road daily and run the transfer from Agadir Al Massira airport (AGA) ourselves, so the car can be waiting with room for a board.

How cold is the water at Panorama Point, and what wetsuit do I need?

The sea off Panorama Point runs about 17–19 °C from December to March and 21–23 °C in late summer. That is the figure for this whole stretch of coast rather than a reading taken at the spot, so plan on a 4/3 mm wetsuit in winter and a 3/2 mm or a springsuit in September. Today's measured sea temperature is in the live board above this guide.

Panorama Point surf guide: the wave, the tide and who it suits

What Panorama Point actually does with a swell, which tide it needs, and the surfer it suits. Checked against published surf references and our own sessions on 20 September 2026.

What kind of wave is Panorama Point?

Panorama Point is a right-hand point break over sand with rock underneath. When it lines up, a ride at Panorama Point runs about 50 to 100 metres. Panorama Point needs a swell from W–NW (260°–325°) at 0.6–1.7 m and 8–14 s to switch on. The wind decides as much as the swell: Panorama Point holds its shape from the NE–SE sector (50°–135°) and goes ragged once it swings onshore. Panorama is where the Taghazout surf schools take their beginners, and the same bank turns into a crisp right-hander for everyone else once a northwest swell puts real size on it.

What tide does Panorama Point work on?

Panorama Point works best from low to mid tide. At low water Panorama Point runs fast and breaks into sections; as the tide fills in the same wave slows down and becomes the one beginners can actually make. You get into Panorama Point off the beach and walk out.

Who should surf Panorama Point, and how busy is it?

Panorama Point suits beginners and intermediates. Panorama Point is busy most mornings because the surf schools work here, so the early session is the calm one. At Panorama Point the things to watch are scattered rock plates in the sand and surf-school traffic in the line-up. If Panorama Point is too big, too crowded or simply wrong on the day, Hash Point is the nearest useful swap, and a guided session from our own desk puts a local in the water with you rather than sending you out cold.
