KILLER POINT – THE LONG WAVE

Another famous righthand point break in the land of rights, Killer Point is named after the Killer Whales that can be seen here in summer. It’s one of the most consistent surf spots in the area and has a lot to offer, from speed sections, long walls to barrels.
Killer Point picks up a bit more swell than Anchor Point and can be surfed in anything over knee-high. When it’s small the wave starts at the north end of the cliff with a short left and a sectioning right, then as the swell fills in you will see the sections start to link up for some epically long rides.

It’s surfable on all tides but works best at low when you can walk along the cliff to get to the first section, otherwise, it’s a long paddle out from the beach. The paddle does seem to put people off surfing here so it’s rarely crowded, but it’s a great reward for those willing to make the 20min paddle.

PANORAMA POINT

This long sweeping righthander sits right on the edge of Taghazout and breaks into a nice beach. On low tide the point is a very fast wave with multiple sections, some can barrel and some are unmakeable. As the tide fills in the wave gets a lot easier and mellow making it great for intermediates and beginners. The beach can be very forgiving and good for learning on high tide.

The current can be tricky to paddle against at times with water pushing down the point into the beach. Sometimes it’s better to jump in from the point, surf down to the beach, walk around, and do it again.

BOILERS

This powerful and consistent righthander is named after the old shipwrecked boiler which sits at the start of the wave. Located 35 min north of Agadir, the vertical lips and speed walls are held up by the trade winds that funnel down the mountains. Best surfed during low tide this spot is recommended for experienced surfers only, as the fast often tubular waves end on a strong shallow reef. Getting in and out can be tricky due to the urchins and sharp rock shelf. Ask the locals for advice before jumping in.
