Anchor Point Surf Guide
Anchor Point is Morocco's most legendary wave. It's a long right point that runs along a rock shelf, with hollow sections and lots of room for high-performance surfing. It's easy location in the town of Taghazout and its consistency in the winter months make it the center of surfing in the region, although there are at least four world-class breaks within driving distance, so the crowd spreads out and epic sessions abound.
