Location: Central Morocco, Morocco
Sports: Surf
Anza is a sandbar break at Central Morocco, Morocco. It is rated 2 out of 5 for wave quality and described as fairly consistent. It works best on a NW swell and a E wind.
The median wave period is 7 seconds, and 13% of days reached 10 seconds or more. Period is the interval between waves and the better guide to their power: a longer one carries more energy whatever the height. Ten seconds is the usual line between locally generated wind swell and swell that travelled. Across the last 93 days the median wave height at Anza was 0.98 m, with the largest fifth of days above 1.18 m. Waves reached a metre or more on 47% of those days. The swell arrived most often from the NW. These figures describe the recent season at this coordinate, not a long-term average.
The seabed falls away at 0.6% over the first 500 m seaward, reaching 10 m of water 0.5 km out. The beach faces S, so that is the direction open to incoming swell.
Within walking distance of the break there is public toilets 990 m away, a restaurant 1418 m away, a bar 1436 m away, and a pharmacy at Pharmacie La Santé صيدلية الصحة, 549 m away. 9 kinds of amenity are mapped near Anza, measured in a straight line from the break.
