The first in a series of local surf spot guides from us here at The Spot Morocco. First up – The world famous, holy grail of surfing in Morocco…Anchor Point. This right hand point break provides long hollow rights. It works from 3ft up, but works best when a big swell comes through and in offshore winds from the northeast. Best to head there at low tide and when the tide starts pushing.
