Panoramas (Taghazout)

Panoramas is a right-hand point break at the southern gateway of Taghazout village, working over a sand-covered reef with sections that can end back on sand. It’s described as reasonably exposed yet generally consistent during the main season, with waves that are typically more approachable and “mellow” than other famous nearby points. For surfing, the spot is best on low to mid tide. As the tide rises, conditions often deteriorate toward closure, while lower tides tend to keep the line open for longer rides. On good days, surfers can link from the point into the bay, and rides are commonly long, especially when the swell is set up well. Wind-wise, afternoon sea breezes are common (often onshore and less ideal for surf quality). When winds turn favorable offshore from the North-East, the face can look particularly groomed. Winter months (roughly October through March) are noted for the most consistent North-West swell periods and the best overall setup for the break. Safety-wise, the key concerns are submerged rocks at/near the take-off and the possibility of strong rip currents on larger swells. The peak crowd level increases during winter months, so expect busier conditions right in front of the village. Local guidance emphasizes staying paddling-ready against the southward current and focusing on low-to-mid tide windows for the best, safest wave shape.
