The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
This stretch is all about one spot and one spot only: Dracula. It’s a heavy reef set-up, so we’re talking advanced territory from the jump. The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 71°F, so nothing wild there for this time of year.
Right off the bat, the start of the period is a real write-off. Sunday the 9th is messy with a strong cross-breeze and lumpy conditions on a 6ft to 7ft NNW swell. The energy is moderate, clocking in at (346). Not worth paddling out.
Monday the 10th morning is where we get our first real glimmer of hope. The wind goes glassy, which is a major win, and we’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the NNW. The energy is moderate at (256), but that offshore glass makes it look good. The arvo gets blown out again, so it’s a dawny or nothing. We get another shot at a glassy morning on Wednesday the 12th, but the swell drops to 4ft with weak energy (193) – it’s surfable but ordinary.
Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th mornings also see glassy conditions with the NNW swell pushing back up to 5ft (256) and 6ft (375) respectively. These are the early-morning windows to target before the afternoon wind ruins it.
Now, the standouts. The best of the best falls on Friday the 21st of August morning. We’ve got a solid 6ft NNW swell, very good conditions forecast, and the energy is ramping up hard to a strong (545). But the real corker is Saturday the 22nd of August morning. This is the one to circle. It’s glassy, the swell bumps to a punchy 8ft from the NNW, and the energy is very strong at (752). That’s a proper session for the experienced crew on the reef, just know that at this size it’s for experts only. The arvos on both days get wiped out by the cross-onshore wind.
Sunday the 23rd morning is still decent with a 6ft swell and clean conditions (471) before the pattern repeats.
To be honest, the afternoon sessions across the board are cooked by a fresh to moderate cross-shore breeze. Your only real windows are the early glassy mornings, and the absolute peak on the 22nd.
Rusty signing 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.
