When the points go flat, go to Anza
Taghazout's points need a decent swell before they turn on. Anza, six kilometres of open beach on the northern edge of Agadir, catches almost everything — so the days that empty out the point breaks are often the days it is worth driving south instead of north.
It costs you the scenery and the cafés. There is nowhere to sit and watch the lineup, no board hire on the sand, and no one selling you coffee afterwards. What you get is waves on a day you had written off, and a beach with far fewer people on it.

Built by a local, not an algorithm
I'm Leon. I grew up in Agadir, learned to surf at Anza, and now live in Berlin — I come back to this coast whenever I can, and I write from what I have actually done here rather than from a desk. This is the guide I kept sending friends in pieces until it made more sense to build it properly.

An occasional email when something here is worth reading. Not a swell alert, not a schedule, and never more often than there is something to say.
