About Killer Point

Killer Point is a powerful right-hand point a short drive north of Anchor Point, on the open coast past Taghazout. It handles more size than the spots in the bay and can hold long, punchy walls when a clean north-west swell lines up, which makes it a favourite for experienced surfers on the bigger days of winter.

Getting there takes a track and a walk down, and the paddle out is long, so check conditions before you commit. There is little shelter from wind or current. Only paddle out if you are comfortable in powerful surf and on rocky ground; otherwise go with a local guide who knows the entry and exit.
