The wave
Boilers is a fast right reef near Cap Ghir, about 25 minutes north of Taghazout. It's named after the rusty boiler of an old shipwreck that sits on the reef and marks the takeoff.
It's one of the most consistent waves in the area and picks up more swell than Taghazout. The takeoff is steep and the wave is quick, with hollow sections on good days. The rips are strong and the reef is rocky, so it's for confident surfers.
