Taghazout Bay is a right-handed point break on the coast of Agadir, Morocco. On the right day, the ideal swell window runs from W–NW (280–320°); groundswell with periods around 9–14s gives it the most shape; the wave is comfortably workable up to roughly 10 ft on the face. Best winds are N or NE, with E or NW still rideable. Tide influences the wave moderately, so timing the swing helps line up the better sets. The sweet spot in our data sits between roughly 0.3 m and 1.5 m of tide height. It is one of the more consistent waves in the region, producing rideable days across much of the season. Expect cool water best surfed in a full wetsuit. Expect a moderate crowd, especially on the best days. Logistically, it is about 20 minutes from AGA airport. Intermediate surfers with reliable bottom turns and paddle fitness will get the most out of it. Board-wise, locals lean on shortboard + longboard.
The best window is typically Sep–Mar, when swells from W–NW (280–320°) are most consistent.
