Killer Point
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Killer Point?
Killer Point is a point break in Taghazout, Morocco, that mostly breaks right.
What swell works best at Killer Point?
Killer Point 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 2m and handles up to about 5m, with the sweet spot around 3.4 to 4.3m. Period matters too: aim for 18s or longer, as anything under 14s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.

An E wind is dead offshore at Killer Point, and anything from the NE round to the SE keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 7am to midday. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.
