Info Taghazout surf

Taghazout is the best surf spot in Africa and Morocco.

DOWNTIME
The beauty of Morocco is its diversity. Surf no good? Well then go explore. Head to the ancient capital of Marrakech, and visit the largest souk (market) in the world. Trek through the high Atlas Mountains, or better still, snowboard through the bastards. The snow's good and lift tickets are cheap as chips. Bolt down to the Sahara and visit the famous Tata Oasis. It's a truly amazing country.
   EQUIPMENT
A short board, a gun and 3/2 steamer will be sweet. You'll also need a supply of leggies and wax (surf shops are pretty hard to come by - just Taghazout) while a pair of booties will come in handy. As a always a good first kit is essential.
In Morocco it's all about exploring... just don't forget to take a water bottle.
There are thousands of kilometres of unsurfed terrain. You need a car, courage and sense of adventure. With these you could discover the best waves of your life.  

Surfspots in Taghazout

1. Immesouane
Good waves but rarely surfed.

2. Tamri-beach
a freindly beach break, suitable for all levels, open to all swells, never goes flat. Good beach break about 4 kms from the village. Check at low tide with a small swell and off-shore winds.

3. Boilers
Fast, long, right hand point break, very makeable with a great inside barrel section. This consistent and powerful wave can be found just Sth of the lighthouse of Cap Ghir. Easy parking and good overview. Big Boilers: take off in front of the boil. Tricky getting in and out of the water Urchins.

4. Killers,
Famous sand bottomed right hand point break, speed sections, bowl sections and barrels, this wave has it all, 250 m rides are common. So named after the Killer whales that can sometimes be found cruising around here. The wave starts in front of a big rock and is best on the inside and holds big time swells. Sheltered from N wind. Beware the caves that face the waves. Slippery walking track.

5. Source
On the inside of Mystery Point. Small days only. Fresh water bubbles up from onshore rock formations where you can rinse your face  and wetsuit. Best at incoming tide on a medium swell.

6. Mysteries
Beautiful right hand reef break, very rippable. Very sucky wave with small take oft area best with a medium size swell. Travelling surfers camp here on the cliffs.

7. Anchor Point
Probably the most famous wave in Morocco, Long mellow walls, suitable for long and shortboarders. Needs a big swell to break and while it gets crowded, the atmosphere remains pretty friendly. Paddle out either from the beach to the N (a long but safe paddle) on small days, or jump off the point (good timing is crucial).  Coming in, either paddle back to the beach N, or surf down the point and paddle to the small beach to the S. High tide can be very difficult coming in over the rocks (many boards have snapped between rocks).

8. Hash Point
Nth beach in the village of Taghazout. So named for the surfers who smoke too much and can't be bothered to walk to Anchors.

9. Panoramas
Right point, super friendly for beginners due to the sand bottom. Fast and round wave breaking in front of Panorama's bar/restaurant in the village of Taghazout.

10. Banana Beach
a mellow left hander or tackle the heavier right hand option.. Beach on the mouth of a dried-up river at the village of Tamrhakht. Fun wave between 4-6 ft. Closes out at low tide and bigger swells.

11. Devils Rock
Peaky beachy right in front of our village, fun for all levels, enjoy a mint tea after a session at the beachside cafe. A tubby left worth checking, 2km Sth of Banana beach.
