Killer Point is north of Taghazout, named after the pod of orcas that passes offshore. A fairly exposed point with dependable surf, and by most accounts the heaviest and most pitching wave in the region.
It works at all stages of the tide, on a northwest groundswell, with an easterly offshore and some shelter from north winds. December gives clean conditions 41% of the time, blown out 41%, and too small 18%.
It very rarely gets crowded, and the hazard list explains why: rocks, locals and sharks. The paddle-out can take twenty minutes on a big day. This is expert ground and it does not pretend otherwise.

A month in figures
In December, the month the forecast guides single out for this coast:
Shares of the month, from the published forecast statistics. The model reads a grid, so neighbouring breaks share a figure: this describes a stretch of coast, not this wave on its own. The other eleven months are not published.
