Stormrider Description
A medium to large, long period NW swell is what's needed to light-up this world-class right, first surfed by Aussies in the 1960's. From the steep take-off at the outside peak, a seemingly endless succession of speed walls and cutback hooks present themselves. Occasional emerald green rooms appear on the sandy sections down the point. It's easier to come in at one of the coves and walk back to jump off at the end between sets. Works on all but high tides, unless it's huge, which is when it may be possible to ride back to Tarhazoute.
Always crowded, especially when small , but the crowd spreads as length of ride and the current increases with size.

Local Knowledge
Anchor Point is by far what most surfers today come for, its perfect in every shape and form. Anchors has a steep takeoff on the main peak then turns into a slower less powerful wave but as you go further down the point it begins to open up and turn into the Kira of Morocco. Anchors is just north of Taghazout and is the first point you will see to your left as you leave Taghazout, there is parking next to the ruins or along the road. The bottom is a mix of rock and sand, on the main peak is mostly rock and is quite shallow when the surf is small, down the point a little its mostly sand but there is the odd rock sticking out. Be careful when surfing the point, respect the people around you and enjoy Morocco's diamond of surfing. Not advised for beginners.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
