The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Dracula for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a half is a real struggle. We’ve got a consistent supply of swell, but the wind is just not playing ball. It’s mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore, and that’s keeping the surface messy. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re looking at it.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Friday the 18th of September. The morning session is where it’s at. We’ve got a 4ft swell rolling in from the NNW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 316, and the wind goes completely glassy. That’s the key here – that offshore, glassy morning will have Dracula looking absolutely clean. The swell size is small, but the quality will be there for anyone who just wants to get a few lined-up reef waves.
Then, Saturday the 19th of September is the real standout. Early morning, the wind drops to zero. Dead calm. Total glass. The swell holds steady at 4ft from the NNW, 9 seconds, and the energy bumps up to 349. This is the best window on the whole forecast. Get in the water early, because by the afternoon, that cross-onshore wind kicks back in and butchers it.
This is a sharp, expert-only reef, and it’s very consistent, so it’s always worth checking. After that Saturday morning, the swell tries to pick up a bit, but the wind stays messy, so don’t expect much.
The bigger picture? There’s a long stretch of nothing worth paddling for from the 4th right through the 17th. Then you get those two golden morning windows. It’s a long wait for a short window, but that Saturday morning looks like it could be a treat.
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.
