We introduce you to the main spots we visit regularly!
Devil’s Rock
Required level: all levels
Beach break with a sandbank, just a 10-minute walk from Azul GuestHouse. This is our local spot, and it’s the most consistent throughout the year. It’s a nice spot for beginners and intermediates. It can be crowded on weekends and during local vacation periods. Good vibe and plenty of cafes on the beach.
Banana Point
Required level: all levels
Hidden beach between the mouth of the Tamraght oued and the cliff that offers protection from the north wind. A long and easy right unfolds from the Peak. Otherwise, it’s a beginner’s beach break, which explains the village’s surf schools.
Spider’s
Required level: experienced
A very shallow reef break only for truly experienced surfers due to waves that often break, forming long, wide barrels.
Anchor Point
Required level: intermediate to experienced
The long north-west swells, ranging from 50cm to 7m, have earned Anchor Point the title of a world-class surf break. Surfed since the 60s, it later became one of Morocco’s favorite surf spots. It’s easy to reach the cove and walk in to jump into the water between sets. It works all the time, and at high tide if the waves are big, it’s possible to surf all the way to Taghazout. It’s worth a visit even if just for observing.
Panorama’s
Required level: all levels
The most popular among longboarders and beginners. A long right, easier than Anchor Point. However, the current can be strong for paddling. Panorama also offers nice waves for intermediate surfers who like 1.
Anza
Required level: all levels
10 minutes by car from our hostel, in the outskirts of Agadir. This impressive spot features a steep left peak resting on a reef and a softer spot—a right over a sandbank. The middle section always works, so there’s room for everyone. This beach is also perfect for beginners.
They will appreciate being able to learn at their own pace in the whitewash or when the swell is calm, practicing the take off on real waves. There are a few cafés and restaurants along the beachfront.
Tamri
Required level: all levels
Located 45 minutes north of Azul Guesthouse, this beach break is very consistent, with sometimes strong currents. It’s usually the spot we go to when it’s flat in Tamraght and Taghazout.
The first waves, very regular, will carry you all the way to the beach. For beginners, be aware of the riptide, which can carry you away from the coast.
The estuary of the oued is home to pink flamingos and herds of camels—a magnificent and wild spot.
For experienced surfers, there is often a big left over the sandbank in front of the cliff.
Imsouane – La Baie
Required level: all levels
Imsouane is a charming little fishing village. Known for its long rides, the view over the bay from the hill reveals beautiful right-hand waves. They start at the port and carry you to the other end of the bay.
The longest ride in Africa, sometimes the wave unrolls for 600m. Intermediate surfers will appreciate the initial whitewash to improve their take off. The best moment is at low tide when the waves are 1.5m, strong, and consistent.
Imsouane – Cathedral Point
Required level: all levels
Positioned on the other side of the bay, Cathedral delivers beach, reef, and point breaks. With strong waves for all surfers!
The point break is the most popular spot for intermediate surfers, whether on shortboards or bodyboards. This break produces full, fast, and powerful rights, especially with an east offshore wind.
Low tide can bring different peaks and tubes. With 1.5m waves, they are superb to share.
The sandbank on the other side suits beginners and intermediates with lefts and rights, and multiple peaks. At high tide, when the waves are 1m, this sandy break delivers powerful waves suitable for all levels and all boards.
