Killers Surf Guide

One of the main point breaks in Taghazout and the most open to swell, Killers lies at the centre of Moroccan surfing. It is a long, powerful right point that can handle the biggest swells, and can be more challenging than Anchors' more groomed lines. A long paddle from the sharp, rocky beach and the current on big swells can make it a chore to get out there.
