Taghazout is world-famous for its endless right-hand point breaks and consistent Atlantic swells. But with so many spots along the coast, where should you paddle out? Whether you are holding a surfboard for the first time or you’ve been chasing waves for years, there is a perfect peak waiting for you. Here is our guide to the best surf spots around Taghazout.
1. For the Pros: Anchor Point
This is the “King” of Morocco. Anchor Point is a world-class right-hand point break that can offer rides of up to 500 meters.
- Best for: Advanced surfers.
- Conditions: Works best on a NW swell at low to mid-tide.
- Pro Tip: It can get crowded when it’s “firing,” so respect the locals and wait your turn.
2. The Consistent Classic: Panoramas
Located just south of the village, Panoramas is a fast right-hander that breaks over a sandy bottom. It’s a great “step-up” wave for those moving from beginner to intermediate.
- Best for: All levels (depending on swell size).
- Why we love it: It’s easy to walk to from the center of town and picks up plenty of swell.
3. Beginner Paradise: Devil’s Rock & Crocodiles
Located in nearby Tamraght, these sandy-bottom beach breaks are where most people catch their first waves.
- Devil’s Rock: A fun, social atmosphere with plenty of surf schools.
- Crocodiles: A long stretch of beach perfect for practicing your “pop-up” without the pressure of a rocky point break.
4. The “Longboarders Dream”: Imsouane (Magic Bay)
While it’s a 1.5-hour drive from Taghazout, Imsouane is worth the trip. It is home to one of the longest waves in Africa.
- The Vibe: Calm, peeling, and incredibly long. You can ride a single wave for nearly two minutes!
- Perfect for: Longboarders and beginners looking for a smooth, easy ride.
5. The Hidden Gem: Boilers
Named after the shipwreck you can see from the shore, Boilers is a powerful and fast wave.
- Warning: It breaks over a shallow reef with sea urchins—bring your booties and your confidence!
- Best for: Advanced surfers looking for a challenge.
