The Lowdown

Alright folks, it's Rusty here with a look at the Dracula stretch. This is a solid, exposed reef break that’s famous for handling serious west swell. For the next couple of weeks, we’ve got a persistent NNW swell train rolling in, which is exactly what this joint wants. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is bang on average for this time of year – no surprises there.

Right now, Wednesday the 15th, it’s a write-off. We’ve got a 5ft NNW swell with a short, weak period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of just 151. On top of that, a 16 mph cross-shore breeze is making a mess of things. Poor surf conditions, plain and simple.

Thursday and Friday are a bit of a tease. The swell picks up to 5ft to 7ft, but that short period (7 seconds) and lumpy cross-shore wind means the waves are going to be junky. The early mornings are marginally better, with winds dropping to 6 mph, but you’re still looking at a light cross-shore ripple and a "marginal" forecast. The afternoons blow out hard with 16 to 19 mph winds. It’s not really worth suiting up for.

Now, Saturday morning the 18th is where it gets interesting. We get a brief window of glassy conditions with a 6ft NNW swell. The period is still short (7 seconds), but with no wind and a combined energy jumping to 338, it’ll be fun, crumbly reef waves. Get it early because as soon as that 16 mph cross-shore kicks in by afternoon, it’s game over.

Sunday and Monday mornings are our next targets. Sunday the 19th is marginal with a 6ft swell and a light cross-shore (6 mph). Monday the 20th is the standout, though. The swell hits 6ft with an 8-second period, the combined energy surges to 409, and we get another glassy session. That’s a proper clean morning. The afternoons remain a mess with 19 mph cross-shore winds.

Tuesday the 21st serves up another glassy morning with a 6ft, 8-second swell and 378 energy. Definitely worth a look. Wednesday the 22nd, the wind goes offshore from the west at 3 mph, but the swell drops to 5ft and the energy dips to 280. It’s a marginal call, but clean conditions could make for some tidy, if smaller, waves.

Looking into the second week, from Thursday the 23rd onwards, the swell fades into the 3ft to 4ft range with low energy (119-171). The wind stays messy most days, but we get a glassy morning on Friday the 24th with a pathetic 3ft wave. Hard to get excited. Then, from Sunday the 26th, the swell starts pumping again, hitting 7ft to 8ft with a building 8-second period. The combined energy gets huge, reaching 1061 by Thursday the 30th. That swell is too meaty for anyone but top-level crew.

The catch is that the wind almost never cooperates. Every afternoon is wrecked by 16 to 22 mph cross-shore wind. The glassy mornings are your only window, like on Sunday the 26th with a clean 5ft wave, and Tuesday the 29th morning where we get a 7ft swell with a light cross-shore (3 mph) and 679 energy. That’s a serious, heavy reef wave for experts only. By the end of the run, Thursday the 30th afternoon, the swell is 8ft with 1061 energy, but the cross-onshore wind is blowing 16 mph, making it a complete choppy mess.

All in all, Dracula is a fickle beast. It needs that clean wind to unlock its potential, and we’re getting tiny windows of glass. For the rest of the time, this set-up is honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with all that consistent cross-shore wind and decent swell.

Stay patient, catch those glassy windows, and leave the big, windy days for the foilers.

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.
