Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dracula over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks at Dracula.
Right off the bat, it’s a quiet start. Through Wednesday the 8th and into the weekend, we’ve got tiny, weak swell with poor conditions, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. We’re looking at a solid gap of no real surf until the following week.
The first real chance of something half-decent shows up on Monday morning the 13th of July. The early session is glassy, with a 3ft swell from the NW, period around 8 seconds, and combined energy reading 143 (moderate). It’s surfable but very ordinary – not worth setting the alarm for.
Then things start to pick up. The first standout comes on Thursday the 16th of July. That morning, Dracula sees a 5ft NW swell, period 7 seconds, with glassy conditions – clean, smooth, and inviting. Combined energy is 259 (moderate), and the WNW swell direction is lining up nicely with what this exposed reef likes. This is the one to aim for. It’s an advanced-only wave, and with crowds listed as *sometimes*, you might get a few out, but it’s worth the paddle out for those who can handle it. The swell is big enough to be exciting but not over the top for experienced surfers.
Later that afternoon, the wind swings onshore and chops it up, so stick with the morning.
Another good window opens on Saturday the 18th of July. Another glassy morning, with a 6ft NNW swell, period 7 seconds, and combined energy at 346 (moderate to strong). This is solid, powerful surf – bigger and punchier than Thursday, but still clean. The swell is getting up there, so if you’re not on your game, stay on the sand. For the experts though, this is a real treat.
Sunday the 19th of July also has a glassy morning, with a 5ft NNW swell, period 8 seconds, and combined energy 340 (moderate to strong). Another excellent session if you can get out early.
After that, the quality drops again through Monday and Tuesday before we see one more late standout. On Wednesday the 22nd of July, the morning is glassy again with a solid 7ft NNW swell, period 8 seconds, and combined energy 495 (strong). That’s a big, powerful wave – expert territory only. The short period means it’ll be a bit more walled up, but on a reef like this, it should offer some steep, hollow sections. This is a later call and less certain, but it’s got serious potential.
All up, the clear winners are the mornings of Thursday the 16th, Saturday the 18th, Sunday the 19th, and that Wednesday the 22nd if it holds. The rest of the time, the wind is messy or the swell is too weak. Stay sharp, pick your windows, and don’t sleep on those glassy mornings.
Rusty.

Information about the Dracula Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Dracula provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Dracula can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Dracula surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Dracula) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Dracula may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Dracula is 24 km (15 miles) from the city of Agadir. If you plan a holiday in Central Morocco, look for hotels and other accommodation in Agadir. Agadir has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
