World Surf League – Pro Taghazout Bay 2025: Morocco Hosts Elite Surfing Championship
The World Surf League surfing competition transforms Taghazout coastline from February 22 to March 2, 2025
The first edition in 2020 highlighted the exceptional conditions offered by Pointe des Ancres (Anchor Point), followed by a spectacular edition in 2023, marked by impressive performances from some of the world’s best surfers.
The February competition window offers optimal conditions at Pointe des Ancres, combining powerful swells and favorable winds. The flagship event of the African and European Qualifying Series (QS), the Pro Taghazout Bay, a 3,000-point QS, represents a key step towards securing a place in the Challenger Series (CS) of 2025.
“It is with great pleasure that we return to Morocco and, in particular, to the Pro Taghazout Bay,” said Rob Gunning, Tour Manager of WSL Europe, adding that “this event is an essential stage in the second half of the QS season for the Europe and Africa regions.”
