About Anchor Point
Anchor Point wraps around a rocky point just north of Taghazout. When a clean northwest swell arrives with light easterly or northeasterly wind, the wave can produce long, organised right-hand walls with sections for carving, speed and occasional barrels. It is a performance-oriented wave rather than a beginner beach break, and the rocky setting rewards confident positioning and good ocean awareness.

Season
Autumn to springSeason tells you when the regional swell pattern is most likely to favour this spot.
The classic setup is a northwest to west-northwest groundswell combined with light offshore wind from the east or northeast. Lower tidal stages are commonly preferred because they help the point show more shape, but the best window depends on swell size, period and local water movement. Always compare the live forecast with what you can see at the spot.
SKILL LEVEL
Who should surf Anchor Point?
Anchor Point is best suited to intermediate and advanced surfers who are comfortable around rocks, crowds and a moving point-break lineup. Less-experienced surfers should choose a softer nearby beach break when the swell is strong or the point is busy.
SURF SEASON
Best time of year
The most dependable surf arrives through the North Atlantic swell season from autumn into spring. Winter is the core period for larger, longer-period groundswell, while summer is often smaller and less consistent at the point.
