Location guide

Killer Point in Morocco boasts some of the most challenging but rewarding surfing conditions in the world. The famed point break is located just north of the city of Agadir, within Taghazout Bay. Known for its predominantly right-hand waves, the surf break received its ominous nickname from the killer whales that frequent these waters, and not for its lethal conditions. Nonetheless, surfing at Killer Point isn't for the faint of heart. Powerful swells crashing against the rocky shoreline produce waves that range anywhere from two meters to five meters. These often come in sets, creating consistent opportunities for avid surfers. But these sets can also spell disaster for those who find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. The surf break’s enormous waves are frequented by experienced surfers who crave a challenge. The spring and fall months offer the strongest swells and are the best time for skilled surfers to take on Killer Point's break. The surf at Killer Point is greatly influenced by the tide, and high tides usually promise better shapes and longer rides. While offering plenty of excitement, surfing Killer Point can be physically demanding due to the massive paddle out required. Normally, surfers must paddle around 500 meters from the shore to reach the break, battling strong currents along the way. But once they reach the break, the waves offer rides that are fast, hollow, and perfect for executing advanced maneuvers. In summary, Killer Point is a Moroccan gem that presents a thrilling blend of beauty and danger. From its heavy swells to long and powerful waves, it’s a surfing destination that challenges even the most experienced surfers. Yet, after battling the elements to catch that perfect wave, seasoned wave riders will attest that the struggle is more than worth the reward.
