02The read
Local authority
La Source is the Taghazout village left-hander — a short, punchy break near the river mouth that works on smaller days when the points are flat or too crowded. This La Source guide covers the surf forecast, tide and wind windows, the rock-and-sand setup, progression fit, and when to move to Hash Point, Panorama or a Tamraght beach instead. Best for improvers wanting a different wave shape on smaller swell.

!
Avoid when
- At very low tide when the reef becomes less forgiving.
