The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here. We’re looking at a mixed bag for Dracula over the next couple of weeks. It’s a top-tier reef break, exposed to the west, and it’s very consistent, but you’re going to have to sit through a proper flat spell and some rough conditions before it delivers. The water temp is sitting at about 69°F, which is a touch cooler than average for this time of year—just under a degree off, nothing crazy.
The first week is pretty much a write-off. We’ve got a few small pulses of swell, but the wind is all over the place, mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the surf quality is in the bin. You’ve got morning glass-offs on Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th, with weak 5ft swell from the NNW at a short 6 to 7 second period (combined energy 180 and 352), but it’s just ordinary—barely surfable. Forget it.
It’s not until Wednesday the 9th that we see a serious change. Wednesday morning looks clean with glassy conditions, a 5ft NNW swell at 8 seconds (combined energy 409), and the score says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the first day worth paddling out. Then Thursday the 10th morning is even better—completely glassed off, dead calm wind, and the same 5ft NNW groundswell (combined energy 315). That’s your first true standout: clean, punchy reef waves, and with the offshore being glass, it’ll be a joy. Crowds can pop up here sometimes, so get in early.
After that, we drop back into small, messy surf for a few days. But keep an eye on Wednesday the 16th. The afternoon session looks very promising: a 3ft NW swell with a very long period of 16 seconds (combined energy 732), and glassy conditions. That’s a solid groundswell with real push, and on a reef like Dracula, those long-period lines will wrap in beautifully. That’s your second standout—promising, but being two weeks out, treat it as a solid lead, not a guarantee.
The following days hold some swell but the cross-shore wind kicks in, so it’s likely messy. Overall, you’ve got a gap of nearly a week of poor to marginal stuff before we hit the good windows on the 9th and 10th, then another gap before the 16th shows potential.
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.
