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.

July at Killer Point, Morocco, typically offers small to mid-sized surf with an average swell height of 1.1m and a decent period of 8.2s, indicating generally clean, organized waves. Most waves come from the NW and NNW directions, with the majority in the 0.5-1.5m range, though some larger sets up to 2.5m+ occur occasionally. Wind conditions are mixed—around 28% of the time, winds are favorable (light offshore or sideshore), but northerly and northwesterly winds can be an issue, occasionally blowing at 20-30kph or stronger, creating chop. The best sessions will be on days with NW or NNW swell, paired with lighter winds, offering the cleanest and most rideable waves. While not the biggest or most consistent month, July can still provide fun, workable waves for intermediate to advanced surfers, especially when wind and swell align.
