As noted by the University of South Florida, oil spill trajectories become less reliable with time. This is because with time the new areas in which the spill contaminates, are likely to be with a much lower concentration of oil and instead of a layer of oil, it is small tar balls. The trajectories are the result of currents going in different directions.

Given the following, there is a chance that the oil will never reach Panama City. My information is from the June 2 forecasts of the oil spill See related link showing the University of South Florida maps, where they compare 4 forecasts. Panama City coodinates are 30.2 degrees longitude and 85.68 degrees latitude. As a zoom in on Panama City, I see currents going east, but also some of the currents are to the south, which could keep it offshore. It is updated everyday.

How many miles is the oil spill from the coast?

This depends on the oil spill. The BP oil spill was 50-60 miles SE of the coast of Louisiana. It has since hit the shores of all the states in the Gulf of Mexico. Due to the gulf stream, oil particulate is expected to reach the East coast of America as well as parts of Europe.
