About the Spot

The Crown of
Moroccan Surf

Taghazout is a small fishing village 25 km north of Agadir that became Morocco's surf capital almost by accident — a handful of travellers found Anchor Point in the late 60s and never really left.

Three point breaks sit within walking distance of each other: Hash Point for beginners and improvers, Anchor Point for its 200-metre right-hand walls, and Killer Point when the swell gets serious. Our coaches read the swell and tide every morning and take you to whichever one suits your level that day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do surf lessons in Taghazout cost?
Group lessons start at €20 per person for two hours and run up to €105 for a ten-hour block. Semi-private is €35 to €140, private €55 to €180. Every price includes the board, the wetsuit and the coach.
Where will my lesson actually take place?
On the sandy beach breaks around the village, not on the point breaks. Your coach picks the spot each morning from the swell, the wind and the tide, and drives you there — the famous points are intermediate-plus waves and no place for a first session.
How many people will be in my group?
Four at most with one instructor. Semi-private is capped at two and private is one-to-one. Small groups are the single biggest reason beginners stand up in their first session.
What board will I learn on?
A large soft-top foam board, typically 7 to 9 feet. They are stable, they float you easily and they do not hurt when they hit you. As you progress you move onto shorter mid-lengths, and experienced surfers can ride performance boards.
Can I take a single lesson rather than a block of hours?
You can, and a two-hour session is a good way to find out whether you enjoy it. If you want to actually learn, book at least six hours across consecutive days — the progression compounds in a way that scattered single lessons never do.
I have surfed before. Is a lesson still worth it?
For most improvers, yes — usually the fastest way past a plateau. An intermediate session is spot selection, wave reading and technique rather than pop-up drills, and a coach watching from the beach spots in ten minutes what you have been fighting for months.
Do you film the sessions?
Video analysis is part of what we include here. Watching your own pop-up is uncomfortable and extremely effective — most people fix more in one review than in a whole extra session.
What time do lessons run?
Usually a morning session and an afternoon session, set the evening before around the tide and the forecast rather than a fixed timetable. Mornings are typically cleanest before the wind gets up.
What do I need to bring?
Swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and water. Board, wetsuit and leash are provided. Reef-safe sunscreen is appreciated, and a rash vest is useful in the warmer months.
How fit do I need to be?
Fitter than you might think for the paddling, less than you fear for everything else. Two hours in whitewater is tiring for most first-timers, and you will feel it in your shoulders the next day. It passes by day three.
Will I stand up in my first lesson?
Most people do, in whitewater, on a big soft board. Standing up is the easy milestone. Riding an unbroken green wave is the real one, and that usually takes several days.
Do you teach in English?
English, French and Arabic. Tell us in advance if you would prefer a particular language and we will match you with the right coach.
