Right in the village of Taghazout, the wave can end on the fishermen's beach on a good day. Not very crowded, the access by the rock can be tricky (espacially at low tide).
The wave, not as long as Anchor Point is still quite fast and will require a good "down the line" equipment.

Aluminum soda-pop cans make great hash pipes! - I don't toke hashish anymore, I still miss sparkin' up some after a good surf session back home in Cali, so my question is: "Did some of the authors of south Moroccan surf spots toke lots of hashish before & after their surf sessions there?" I'm asking this since it seems like some of the authors may have had a good buzz-on whenever they wrote some of these spot descriptions...

Taghazout ..... - Just came back from a amazing trip in Morocco. Was looking forward to Taghazout, but the place (not the surf) was really messed up. The main road was full of glue sniffers (we asked some local waiters). When high on glue people look like zombies... for real, this gives the place a very messed up atmosphere, like you want to get the hell out of there. If you JUST care about the surf Taghazout is the place, with a lot of different breaks around for everybody. If you expect a bit more from your trip besides surfing head up north for much more scenic spots and goooood waves aswell.....
PS. Agadir is tourist trap full of retired Germans, serious head up north towards Essaouira....
