Anchor Point
type: TouristAttraction
description: Anchor Point is Morocco's legendary wave—a long, perfectly peeling right point in Taghazout that can deliver 500-meter rides when NW Atlantic swells hit the coast. The wave needs long-period groundswell and light offshore winds, but when conditions align, it produces some of Africa's finest surfing. The setting is exotic: ancient fishing village, goat herds on the cliffs, and warm Moroccan hospitality. Crowds are intense when it's working.

Killer Point
type: TouristAttraction
description: Killer Point is Anchor Point's big-wave sibling—a long right-hand point break that handles larger swells when Anchor maxes out. Named for the Orca sightings in the area (not the wave's danger level), Killer Point requires either a long paddle from Hash Point or a cliff descent to access. When big NW swells march in, the wave can hold double-overhead-plus and offers the longest rides in the Taghazout region. A Moroccan adventure for intermediate-advanced surfers.

Boilers
type: TouristAttraction
description: Boilers is Taghazout's barrel option—a hollow right-hand reef break named after the old shipwreck boiler visible on the reef. Unlike the point breaks nearby, Boilers offers a more critical, hollow takeoff that can produce genuine tubes on the right swell. It's shallower and more intense than Anchor Point, requiring more commitment and better timing. On smaller days it's fun and punchy; on bigger days it can be heavy and challenging. Morocco's tube fix.

Safi
type: TouristAttraction
description: Safi is Morocco's best-kept secret—a collection of world-class right-hand point breaks that rival anything in the more famous Taghazout zone, but with a fraction of the crowds. The industrial fishing port backdrop may lack the charm of southern Morocco's surf villages, but the waves more than compensate. Long, mechanical walls peel along the rocky points, offering extended rides and genuine quality when Atlantic groundswells light up the coast. For those willing to venture beyond the well-worn Taghazout path, Safi rewards with uncrowded perfection.

Imsouane
type: TouristAttraction
description: Imsouane is Africa's longest wave—a right-hand point break in a sheltered Moroccan bay that produces rides of 300 meters or more when conditions align. The wave is impossibly perfect for longboarding: gentle, predictable walls that peel with metronomic precision, allowing surfers to walk the nose for what feels like forever. The fishing village setting adds authentic Moroccan atmosphere, while the growing surf tourism infrastructure provides comfortable bases. When northern swells arrive and the bay comes alive, Imsouane delivers an experience that justifies every minute of travel.

Tamri
type: TouristAttraction
description: Tamri is Morocco's quieter choice—a consistent beach and rivermouth break between Agadir and Essaouira that offers an escape from the crowds that have descended on Taghazout. The wave works on the same swells but attracts far fewer surfers, allowing for the kind of uncrowded sessions that are increasingly rare along this popular coast. The banana plantation backdrop and traditional village atmosphere provide authentic Moroccan culture, while the variety of peaks means there's usually something working regardless of exact conditions. For those seeking quality without queues, Tamri delivers.

La Source

Mysteries
type: TouristAttraction
description: Mysteries is the middle section of the famous Taghazout point break system, sitting between La Source to the north and Anchor Point to the south. When the swell is big enough and the direction right, you can catch a wave at La Source and ride it all the way through Mysteries and into Anchor Point—a ride of nearly a kilometer. The wave offers long walls with occasional barrel sections over a rocky reef.

Sidi Kaouki
type: TouristAttraction
description: Sidi Kaouki is a small village south of Essaouira known for its consistent beach break and laid-back vibe. The wave offers quality peaks along a long stretch of beach, though the area is notorious for wind—the same Alizé trade winds that made Essaouira famous for kiting. Early mornings before the wind picks up offer the best conditions. The village has a rustic, spiritual atmosphere with a shrine to the local saint.

Essaouira
type: TouristAttraction
description: Essaouira is a UNESCO World Heritage city famous for its ancient medina, blue boats, and relentless wind. The beach break in front of the old town offers fun waves when conditions align, but the Alizé trade winds that blow from the northeast make it more famous for kiting and windsurfing than surfing. Early morning before the wind picks up is the window. The beautiful walled city and fresh seafood make it worth a visit regardless.
