Panoramas is the bridge between the sandy bays and the serious points, and the closest quality wave to Taghazout itself.

The wave

It reels around the point with the peak breaking fairly close to shore, and is generally described as a versatile break with a largely sandy bottom — which is why it appears on almost every camp's beginner-to-improver list.

It gives a cleaner shoulder than a pure beach break, and that unbroken face is what you need to stop riding straight at the sand and start travelling along the wave.

The rip

On bigger swells the current here can be strong. Experienced surfers use it, jumping in off the rocks to save a paddle, but it also sweeps people off the peak and away from the lineup if they are not watching.

Keep a fixed point on shore in view and check your position regularly. If you are drifting, come in and walk back up rather than fighting it.

Wind tolerance

It handles more easterly component in the wind than most nearby spots, which makes it worth checking on days when other breaks are slightly cross-shore. That is genuinely useful when the forecast looks marginal.

Where it fits in a week

Typically days four to seven, once guests stand consistently and want a face to angle along. Complete beginners are better served at Banana Point or Crocs for a few more sessions.
