Boilers
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.
