Mysteries
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.
