Killer Point
A classic right breaking far from shore, north of Taghazout.
Killer Point is one of Morocco's classic spots: a right that breaks far from shore and holds a lot of size. The name comes from the orcas (killer whales) sometimes seen in the area.
The paddle out is long, so you need to be fit.
