On the northern point of Taghazout.

A perfect right-hander point break, Moroccan surfing’s holy grail, where you can bag some memorable sessions, especially if the wind is offshore and there is a good swell. The waves break above 2 feet and the spot can handle up to 15 feet on bigger days, with incredible tubes on the inside. This is a long magical wave. The only let down is the crowd.

To the right of Anchor Point, on the road between Taghazout and Essaouira.

A big, long, fast right hander, this is one of the most consistent spots in the region. It works best with an outgoing or low tide, and breaks with just about any swell, handling waves up to 12 feet. Can get crowded, especially since this is the first of the long right handers in the region to kick off. Paddling out to the peak can get complicated at times.

Just 1 km north of Anchor Point.

This right hander point break is one of Taghazout’s main – and most popular – peaks. It is quite consistent, although it only works to perfection with low tide and waves over 6 feet. This can be a fun wave on exceptional days, with 500 meter long rides. However, there can be some issues with localism.

North of Taghazout, further up from Boilers.

This right hander point break can only be surfed by the most fearless. It gets its name from the sharp rocks which form the ocean floor. The swell gets big in this spot, offering hollow and risky barrels. Considered Boilers’ evil twin, it can be rewarding for the more experienced surfers, especially due to the lack of crowd.

North of Taghazout, between Anchor Point and Killer Point.

A right hander reef break which, at times, also throws out some left handers. The rocky and sand bottom makes for some clean and fun conditions, with up to 150 meter rides on the best days. Works best at mid outgoing tide and is a good option for surfers of all levels of experience.

South of Anchor Point, in a more central part of Taghazout.

A right hander point break which, despite not having the quality of neighboring spots, is still a regional favorite, especially among those more averse to driving long distances on a wave hunt. It is a fast wave, which can carry off 150 meter long rides and works best at high or incoming tide, with a westerly swell.
