Killer Point
The Thrill of Killer Point
Perched on the edge of Morocco’s Atlantic coast, just a few kilometers north of Taghazout, lies the formidable Killer Point – named not for danger, but for the pods of killer whales historically spotted offshore. This surf spot is the stuff of legends, revered for its powerful, long right-hand waves that can peel elegantly for up to 500 meters.
A true point break, it peels around the headland, providing rides that can last for up to several minutes on the best days. It’s a majestic showcase of natural wave engineering, offering various sections that cater to different surfing styles. The wave starts with a fast and hollow take-off, ideal for advanced surfers looking to test their tube-riding skills, then mellows into a shoulder perfect for carves and cutbacks, appealing to those looking to practice turns or simply enjoy a lengthy ride.
