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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Panoramas?
Panoramas is a reef break in Taghazout, Morocco, that mostly breaks right.
What swell works best at Panoramas?
Panoramas picks up swell from the WNW round to the NNW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the NW. It starts working at around 1.2m and handles up to about 2.5m, with the sweet spot around 1.8 to 2.2m. Period matters too: aim for 14s or longer, as anything under 10s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.

An E wind is dead offshore at Panoramas, and anything from the ENE round to the ESE keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to 11am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.
