The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let's talk about what's in store for Dracula.
We've got a 16-day window, but it's a slow start. The first real chance to get wet doesn't come until early Sunday, August 23rd. Before that, from Tuesday the 11th through to Saturday the 22nd, it's a long stretch of onshore and cross-shore winds messing up the surf. There's some energy in the water around the 14th and 15th, with combined energy numbers hitting 329 and 339, but the wind is just never cooperating. It's a solid week-plus of poor conditions, so don't bother.
The real highlight is Sunday morning, August 23rd. The wind is forecast to go dead calm, glassy, and that's the key. We'll have a clean 4ft swell from the NNW with a short period, but the combined energy is a moderate 198. The water temp is 71°, which is normal for the season. For a reef break that's this consistent, that glassy morning is your best shot. Crowds are only a possibility, so you might get some peace.
Monday morning the 24th looks similar in size, but with a light cross-shore, so not as clean. The big one to watch is Wednesday morning, August 26th. The forecast shows a 6ft swell from the NNW, with glassy conditions and a combined energy of 432. That's the session to aim for, but it's a long way out, so stay hopeful. The afternoon of the 26th will see the swell hit 10ft, but the wind will be a mess, so that's only for the brave.
So, bottom line: the first week and a half is a bust. Sunday the 23rd morning is your best early bet, and Wednesday the 26th morning is the one to circle on the calendar.
Rusty out.

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.
