Spot intelligence.
Anchor Point now requires west-to-northwest Atlantic energy, northeast wind and lower water to earn its strongest fit. Its world-class right is separated from a generic Taghazout regional recommendation.

Character
01Anchor Point is defined by long hollow right along a rock shelf over rock shelf and point. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.
Best setup
02W–WNW–NW swell, ne offshore and low tide preferred form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 1.0–5.5 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.
Lineup read
03Choose a peak that matches your experience and reassess it as tide and crowd change. Pay particular attention to rock entry and exit, powerful current, heavy crowd. Local signs and advice always take priority.
