The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Dracula. We’ve got some waiting to do, but the payoff looks real good.
The first few days are frustrating. Monday the 24th has some 5 to 6 ft NW swell, but the winds are cross and cross-onshore, leaving it choppy and messy. Tuesday the 25th is similar with 6 ft from the NNW – light, but still a bumpy texture. The wind keeps it rough through Wednesday and Thursday, but there’s a little opening Friday morning the 28th. You’ll find a clean 7 ft NNW swell and only a light breeze. Energy is moderate (464). Get it before the afternoon wind freshens to 19 mph and blows it out.
The first real standout? That’s Saturday morning the 29th. Glassy conditions, 7 ft of NNW groundswell, period at 11 seconds, and the energy is very strong (1030). That’s real power and shape for the experienced surfer. This is not a day for beginners – it’s solid, clean, and serious.
Sunday morning the 30th is another glassy gem, 7 ft, period drops to 8 seconds but the glass keeps it good (560 energy).
The second week is stacked with clean windows. Monday the 31st is glassy with 7 ft swell. The big one? Wednesday morning the 2nd of September. Glassy, 8 ft of swell, period at 9 seconds, and very strong energy (1101). This is expert territory – all power and speed. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th both serve up clean mornings with light offshore or glass winds and 7 ft plus swells.
The absolute best of the run might be Saturday the 5th – glassy, 8 ft, punchy 8-second period, and solid energy. Sunday the 6th also has that perfect glass and a 7 ft swell with energy over 1000. These are the days to be in the water.
Dracula is a reef break, and the long-period groundswell loves hitting it. The direction is right on the money for optimum shape. Water temp is about average, and sometimes there’s a crowd, but with these conditions, expect company.
A word to the beginners: stay off the days over 5 ft, and the 8 ft+ days are for experts only. When the period drops short (under 8 seconds) and winds go onshore, the beach break might actually be better for kiting than surfing.
So, the first half of the week is a bust, but from Friday the 28th through the end, there are some absolutely world-class glassy mornings. Don’t miss Saturday the 29th or Wednesday the 2nd.
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.
