The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We’ve got a full 16-day window on the table, starting with a bit of a slow start. The first real window of opportunity is a Monday morning session, but the real standout is a good few days away.
Monday, July 27th morning is the first chance to get wet. Dracula, a reef setup, will have some chest-high swell, around 5.2ft, from the NNW. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSE, which will keep things clean. The water temp is sitting at 70.2°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The combined swell energy is moderate (296), but these waves are running on a short 8-second period, so they won't have a ton of push. It's a solid start, but nothing to write home about.
The rest of that week and into the next is a bit of a write-off. The wind switches around to cross-on and cross-shore, and most of the time it's just too choppy or lumpy. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions, with only a few mornings that look surfable but very ordinary. The swell sticks around, but the wind just ruins it.
Monday, August 3rd morning is a serious glimmer of hope. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the swell is a solid 5ft from the NNW. This is a classic Dracula moment—clean, glassy, and the reef will be working. The energy is moderate (254), and the period is still short at 7 seconds, but with that wind, it’ll be a fun session.
Tuesday, August 4th morning is the pick of the entire forecast. The swell jumps up to a solid 7ft from the NNW, with a slightly longer 8-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, making for clean, well-shaped waves. The combined energy is strong (558), and this is where Dracula really shows its teeth. The waves will have some real punch. This is for experts, as it’s getting up there in size. The crowd can be a factor here sometimes, but on a Tuesday morning, you might just score it quiet.
The second week has some size, but the wind is a constant battle. Thursday, August 6th morning sees another glassy session, with 6ft swell from the NNW. The energy is strong (321), and it’ll be clean, but it’s not as big or powerful as the Tuesday before.
Later in the week and into the next, the swell gets bigger—8ft, 10ft—but the wind is always howling cross-shore or cross-on, making it a lumpy mess. This is kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The energy numbers get huge (over 1000), but it’s all blown out.
So, the real standout is the Tuesday, August 4th morning session at Dracula. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. The Monday before (August 3rd) is a worthy backup if the glass hangs around.

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.
