On the stretch north of Taghazout towards Killer PointAccess

Dog Steps is one of the quieter names on the run of reefs between Taghazout and Killer Point, listed in local guides alongside Mysteries and La Source.

Where it sits

On the coast heading north from Taghazout village towards Anchor Point, Mysteries, La Source and eventually Killers. Local guides name it among the main waves on that run, though it draws far less attention than its neighbours.

What to expect

A reef break needing decent northwest swell and easterly wind, like most of this stretch. Not a beginner wave, and not somewhere to paddle out without watching it work first or going with someone who surfs it regularly.

Ask before you go

This is the sort of spot where local knowledge matters more than any written guide. Instructors who surf here daily know when it is worth the walk and, more often, when it is not.
