Anza
Anza is the main beach break in Agadir, offering fun peaks along a stretch of sandy beach near the city. The wave works best on smaller days when the points up north are too small. Multiple peaks mean you can usually find your own wave even when it's busy. A good option for beginners or for a quick surf when staying in Agadir.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Anza?
Anza is a beach break in Agadir, Morocco, with peaks that run both left and right.
What swell works best at Anza?
Anza picks up swell from the W round to the NNW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the NW. It starts working at around 0.8m and handles up to about 2.5m, with the sweet spot around 1.6 to 2.1m. Period matters too: aim for 12s or longer, as anything under 8s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.
What wind is offshore at Anza?
An E wind is dead offshore at Anza, and anything from the ENE round to the ESE keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to 11am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.
