About Taghazout
Taghazout is a surf village 19 km north of Agadir on the central Morocco coast, the country’s surf hub and one of the densest stretches of right-hand points anywhere. Anchor Point is the headline, a long peeling right around a rocky headland. Killer Point and Boilers sit further north, both serious on size. La Source and Mysteries fill out the line-up. The village itself is whitewashed houses tumbling down to the Atlantic.
The north-west Atlantic swell runs mid-September through mid-April, with November through March the peak. Working size is 0.8 to 3 m at 12 s or longer. East and north-east are offshore, channelled down from the Atlas foothills, which is why Boilers sits in a sheltered wind corridor that grooms most north-west swells clean. Summer is small wind swell. Surf the dawn before the seabreeze fills.
Water runs 16 to 19 °C in winter and 20 to 23 °C in summer. A 4/3 covers winter, a 3/2 the shoulder, boardies and a rashie summer. Anchor Point can pack out with surf-camp groups; sets are a sit-on-the-rocks wait. November through March is the season: bigger swell, cooler water, fewer holiday crowds. If Anchor is too crowded or too small, walk north to Killer or hit Mysteries for a beach-break alternative.
