Anza sits between Agadir and the surf villages, and is one of the few breaks on this coast that reliably offers lefts.

Why goofy-footers go there

This coast is famous for right-hand points, which is excellent news if you surf regular-footed and repetitive if you do not. Anza and Tamri are the two spots most often named as offering something for goofy-footers.

Spending a week going backside on every wave is a real phenomenon here, and one session at Anza fixes it.

The wave

A mix of reef and beach break producing waves in both directions depending on the bank and swell angle. It suits intermediates comfortably and is generally busier with local surfers than with camps.

Water quality

Anza sits close to Agadir and has historically drawn water-quality concerns after heavy rain, when run-off reaches the coast. Ask locally before surfing after a storm — a genuine consideration rather than a rumour.

Staying near Anza

Agadir is hotels rather than surf camps — everything from all-inclusive blocks on the beach road to apartments a street back. Expect €40 to €90 for a double near the seafront and less inland. Very few places are built around surfing, so board hire and lessons are arranged separately, usually through the clubs along the bay.
