Anza
The wave by Agadir harbour: almost always something, but the water can be very dirty.
Anza is north of Agadir harbour, in an industrial area. It almost always has waves, with a right point and peaks over sand and rock that work at high tide.
Several reports mention heavy pollution from outfalls: check the water before paddling out.
