Surfing Mysteries
A right reef in Taghazout, Morocco, for intermediate and advanced surfers.
Mysteries is a short right over reef just north of Anchor Point. It only breaks properly at high tide and is less consistent than Anchor, which is where the name comes from.
On its day it's a fast, fun wave with a takeoff close to the rocks. Because it's so close to Anchor Point, it fills up quickly when it's working. Watch the rocks on the inside as the tide drops.
It's at its best from November to March. Taghazout, with its surf houses and cafés, is ten minutes away on foot.
