Fast, Sections, Barrels Renowned point break named after the visiting pod of Killer Whales occasionally. This is probably the most consistent of the point breaks in Taghazout. At low tide on small swells, the peak in front of the cliff provides a short left and a sectioning right. As the swell picks up, vertical walls rumble down the point providing barrels and hard sections. On high tide, the inside section fires up as it is sheltered from the Northerly winds.
