Boards
Board for todayShortboardFish
A shortboard; a step-up when it's solid. A board with a bit of extra volume makes the long paddle easier.

Local tip: Named after the orcas once seen here. Dolphins are common; sharing the line-up with them is part of the deal.

Spot guide
The heaviest point around Taghazout, named after the orcas that used to be seen off the cliffs. Killer Point holds the biggest NW swells and throws long, powerful rights with a steep take-off and fast walls. The paddle out from La Source beach is long (15 minutes or more on big days), so pace yourself. Best from low to mid tide with a NE wind.
Watch out: Rocky bottom, long paddle, strong currents when big.
