The Lowdown
Alright, settle in. Rusty here, lookin’ at the charts for Dracula. This one’s a right fickle beast, but there’s a window of pure magic if you’re patient and sharp.
Right off the bat, we got a stretch from August 22nd through the 27th that’s just not worth paddling out for. Cross-shore winds, onshores, choppy water – it’s all a mess. The swell’s there, around 4 ft to 6 ft, but the quality is shot. A couple of mornings have a bit of hope with lighter winds, but the wave comment says it’s marginal at best. The combined swell energy is mostly weak to moderate, between 250 and 524 (moderate energy). You’d be fighting a losing battle.
Then, things start to shift. On Friday the 28th, the whole vibe changes. The morning is glassy – dead calm, with a clean 7 ft swell from the NNW at an 8-second period. The wave comment is "expect very good surf conditions." This is the first real stand-out, and it’s a cracker. That glassy condition is a massive positive; the water will be like a mirror. For an advanced reef break like this, that’s your window.
The quality holds through the weekend. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th both start with glassy mornings and solid swell. Saturday’s morning session has 7 ft from the NNW, Sunday morning brings 6 ft from the same direction. The combined energy is strong, hitting 793 (strong) on Sunday. The winds are off the water, the lines will be clean. This is where you want to be. Just a heads-up: this spot is sometimes crowded, so expect company.
We get another solid run into the first days of September. Monday the 31st has a 8 ft NNW swell with glassy conditions in the morning. That’s a proper, powerful wave.
The real standout, the one you circle on the calendar, is Friday the 4th of September. The morning delivers a clean 8 ft swell from the NNW. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, and the wave comment is "expect very good surf conditions." The combined swell energy is 887 (strong). Now, at 8 ft, this is expert territory only. It’ll be powerful, but with the wind cleaning it up, it’s going to be a session of a lifetime for those with the skills. Even Saturday the 5th has a glassy 8 ft swell to start the day, which is nearly as good. After that, the window starts to close again toward the end of the forecast.
So, the plan is simple: sleep in during that first week, then get up early for that glassy run from Friday the 28th of August through Monday the 1st of September. The absolute pick of the bunch is that Friday the 4th of September morning. Don’t be late.
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.
