Taghazout Surf Guide: Best Spots Near Agadir

Twenty minutes north of Agadir, the whitewashed fishing village of Taghazout has become one of the world's top winter surf destinations — consistent swell, warm water and an easygoing Berber vibe.

Best surf season

October to April brings the cleanest North Atlantic swell. Water temperature stays a friendly 17–20°C — a 3/2 wetsuit is plenty.

Top 4 surf spots

1. Anchor Point — long right-hand point break, world-class on a big swell. Intermediate to expert.
2. Killer Point — powerful, fast right. Experts only.
3. Banana Beach — soft, sandy beach break. Perfect for beginners.
4. Panoramas — mellow point with long rides. Great for longboards and improvers.
