Boilers
A reef right next to the remains of a shipwreck, north of Taghazout.
Boilers is named after the boiler of a wrecked ship sticking out of the rocks. It's a fast, powerful reef right that works at low tide.
Getting in and out in big swell is hard: wait for a lull between sets and paddle hard.
