Anchor Point
Anchor Point near Taghazout: Morocco's famous long right-hand point for experienced surfers. Swell, wind, tide, season and hazards.
How it breaks
Anchor Point, La Pointe des Ancres, is the right-hander that made Taghazout famous. It peels down a rocky headland just north-west of the village, and on a good winter swell rides can run for several hundred metres. The take-off is steep and fast, and the walls can get hollow.
It is a spot for experienced surfers only. Getting in and out over the rocks takes timing, the current is strong on big days and the line-up is the busiest in the area.
When it works
A long-period north-west groundswell with light north-east wind. It starts working around 1–1.5 m and holds big swells. Most sources recommend low tide. In summer it is usually flat. Check the surf forecast.
Getting there
About 1.7 km north-west of the centre of Taghazout, or 10–15 minutes by car from Tamraght.
