This past weekend brought a massive Northwest swell and big waves that absolutely pummeled our coastline, raising stoke levels to an all time high!

The swell perfectly peeled into a handful of nearby world-class breaks, firing with clean double-overhead sets.

Saturday morning brought the peak of the swell, it was far too big for beginners to make it out past the break almost everywhere!

Conditions aligned for an epic session at Anchor Point, a right point break that works best at low tide.

The swells drew a huge crowd of locals and tourists alike, cheering on the courageous surfers as massive waves pounded the rocky shores.

Anchor Point is an extremely high-risk, high-reward break – to paddle out, one must jump off the jagged rocks between sets with perfect timing. 

If the surfer times it wrong, or is not strong enough to beat the southward sucking current, these waves have the potential to smash you directly into the rocks.

We saw at least one broken board this morning snapped clean in half, and heard about a couple more. 

Watching surfers plunge into the risky paddle out was almost as intense as the rides themselves!

Our crew was extremely stoked and nervous for our own surf instructors to paddle out.

Together we watched him calmly walk out past the crowds to the farthest jagged point, waiting out a massive 3-4 meter set before diving head first into the oncoming swells. 

Utilizing all his strength to beat the current and duck dive underneath the waves, he soon made it out past the break and awaited the next set.

There’s only one thing that beats watching a friend catch a massive wave – catching one yourself!

With consistent practice, we get exponentially stronger and more capable of paddling out into bigger surf. Surfing is a lifelong practice that only gets more exciting and rewarding as you go, dedication is the key! 

The next swell is already headed our way. Opportunity for growth is infinite here on our sandy swelly shores of Morocco!
