General Description
Anchor Point Taghazout
Anchor Point is the holy grail of surfing in Morocco. If you get the point on a big day with a nice little offshore you are going to be getting some big take offs and nice walls.
The inside section throws in some heavy barrels and you are riding the wave for nearly a kilometre!

Surf Schools
There is a surf club at Devil's Rock, it's a project of the Moroccan federation and the association of Human developement in Morocco. They are several surf schools in the area, and we think that Africa Extrem Surf Camps and Surf Maroc are almost the only recommended ones.
