Mystery – The Hidden Treasure of Taghazout Bay

📍 Distance from Wave Chaser: ~25 minutes drive

Mystery is one of Taghazout Bay’s best-kept secrets, living up to its name as a lesser-known but highly rewarding surf break. Tucked away from the more crowded beaches, this spot delivers fast, powerful waves that break over a shallow reef, creating deep, hollow barrels when the swell aligns perfectly. Mystery isn’t for the faint-hearted – the take-off is steep, and the waves move quickly, making it an exciting challenge for intermediate and advanced surfers.

Locals know this wave well, and timing is everything. The break is highly dependent on conditions, but when it’s working, it’s nothing short of magical. If you’re seeking adrenaline and a true test of skill, Mystery will not disappoint.

The first time I surfed Mystery, I was caught off guard by how fast the wave moves. Once you figure it out, though, it’s pure perfection.
