Surf Spots
Panoramas
Panoramas at the south end of Taghazout: a right-hand point at low tide and a softer beach break at high tide. Level, swell, wind, hazards.
How it breaks
Panoramas is a long right that peels into the bay at the south end of Taghazout, in front of the Panorama restaurant. At low tide it breaks as a fast point wave with several sections. As the tide rises it softens into a gentler beach break.
The spot is sheltered from the trade winds, so it can stay clean when other beaches are blown out. It is a good step up from the beach breaks once you ride green waves; on small days at higher tide, beginners sometimes surf it with a coach.
When it works
Best on a mid-sized north to north-west swell with north-east wind. A straight west swell makes it close out. Check the surf forecast before you go.
Getting there
It is about 5 minutes on foot from the centre of Taghazout, or 10–15 minutes by car from Tamraght.
