Killer Point - surf spot statistics

Killer Point in Morocco is a consistent surf spot with year-round swell activity, but the best conditions are typically found during the winter months when ground swells dominate and wind conditions are more favorable. From October through March, the spot receives a high percentage of ground swells (69% to 93%), which are more powerful and organized compared to wind swells. December and January stand out as the peak months with 88-93% ground swells and mean swell sizes of 1.4-1.5m, providing solid, clean waves. Wind conditions are also best during this period, with good wind days occurring around 48-51% of the time. November and February are also strong months, though slightly less consistent with winds, while March and October offer a good balance of swell and wind with slightly smaller waves (1.3-1.4m). The summer months (May to September) see a significant drop in ground swells (9-46%) in favor of wind swells, which are less ideal. Swell size decreases to 1.0-1.2m, and onshore winds become more prevalent (68-78% bad wind days), making conditions choppier and less predictable. April and September mark transitional periods, with April still offering decent ground swells (64%) but worsening winds (70% bad wind days), while September begins the return of better swell but still struggles with wind quality (68% bad wind days). For advanced surfers seeking the most reliable and high-quality waves, the best window is from October to March, with December and January being the prime months at Killer Point.

August at Killer Point, Morocco, offers consistent but generally smaller surf, with an average swell height of 1.0m and a decent period of 8.6s, providing rideable waves but lacking significant power. The swell direction is predominantly from the NW and WNW, which aligns best with the break, producing the majority of waves in the 0.5-1.5m range. Larger sets (1.5-2.5m) are rare but possible, mostly from NNW, though anything overhead is uncommon. Wind conditions are variable, with only 31% of days offering ideal offshore or light cross-shore winds (typically northerly or easterly). Onshore W or WSW winds are more frequent, creating choppy conditions. The spot works best on smaller, clean days when the wind cooperates, making it better suited for intermediate surfers or those looking for mellow sessions rather than heavy barrels. For performance surfing, patience and timing are key to scoring the best conditions.
