Surfing La Source
A left & right reef in Taghazout, Morocco, for intermediate surfers.
La Source is a reef break between Killer Point and Mysteries, next to a freshwater spring that runs down the cliff. It has a right and a left peak, and is best on a rising tide towards high.
It's smaller and easier than the points around it and usually has far fewer people. A good option when Anchor Point is crowded and the swell isn't too big.
You reach it on foot or by car along the coast road north of Taghazout. Bring water, as there's nothing at the spot.
