Surf spot guide · South Morocco, Morocco
Shifty reef-and-sand peak at kilometre 12 north of Agadir, rolling rights and lefts before a heavy inside shorebreak.
K12, known locally as Douze after the kilometre marker on the Agadir to Taghazout road, is a shifty peak breaking over scattered reef fingers that hold the sand. The wave throws longer rolling rights and lefts that fade into whitewash shoulders before closing out into a hefty inside shorebreak. It is a forgiving performance break in the right size, with a steep but easy takeoff and a slopey, well-covered face that suits intermediates working on turns. The spot sits in the heart of Morocco's most surfed coastline, sandwiched between Banana Point to the north and K11 to the south, and it picks up consistent swell year-round thanks to its open aspect. Roadside parking sits right above the break, with the sandbar towards Banana Point offering an easier alternative when the inside gets heavy. Tide matters: high goes slow and bouncy with that shorebreak close-out, while lower water cleans the peak up. Expect company in the lineup most days.
Hollow right-hander over shallow reef, fast and competitive when the swell lines up.

Long, forgiving right-hand point south of Tamraght that walls up on bigger NW swells then tapers to a beachbreak inside.
