Surf Spots
Boilers
Boilers at Cap Ghir: a fast right-hand reef point next to an old ship's boiler, for experienced surfers. Swell, wind, tide, hazards.
How it breaks
Boilers is a fast, punchy right that runs along the rocky tip of Cap Ghir. It takes its name from the rusting boiler of an old shipwreck right at the take-off, which you have to keep an eye on.
Paddling in and out over rocks covered in sea urchins is the main difficulty, and the reef is shallow. It is a spot for experienced surfers only, and usually quieter than the points around Taghazout.
When it works
It needs a solid west-north-west to north-west groundswell and works best at lower tides, with east to east-south-east wind. See the surf forecast.
Getting there
About 30–35 minutes by car north of Taghazout, at the tip of Cap Ghir.
