Panoramas
Panoramas sits on the southern edge of Taghazout, offering sweeping views of the coastline that give the spot its name. The wave is a long, walling right that works best on bigger NW swells when conditions can become world-class. The reef produces clean, lined-up walls perfect for carving and the occasional barrel section. A great alternative when the main Taghazout points are too crowded.
