The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a yarn about the surf ahead.
The forecast is all about one spot: Dracula. This is a reef break, and it's exposed to the swell, so it picks up everything. The water temp is sitting right on 69°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The outlook is a bit of a rollercoaster – we get pulses of swell, but the wind is going to be a real pain most days, making it messy. The best windows are the glassy mornings, and we've got a few of them.
The first real chance to get wet is Sunday morning, August 2nd. The wind is glassy from the north, and we've got a clean 5ft swell from the NNW. The energy is moderate (272), and the period is short at 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit crumbly but definitely rideable. It's on the small side for a powerful reef, but it'll be clean. Monday morning, August 3rd, is a carbon copy – glassy, 5ft, and clean. These are your best early bets.
Then the afternoons get destroyed by a fresh cross-shore wind, so forget about those.
The next sweet spot rolls in on Friday morning, August 7th. We get glassy conditions again with a 6ft swell from the NNW. The energy is getting stronger now (442), and the period has stretched to 8 seconds, which means a bit more push and shape. This is a standout. The swell is getting up there, but it's still manageable for a confident intermediate.
Saturday morning, August 8th, is another glassy morning with a 6ft swell. Clean, but a touch smaller.
Now, for the real one to circle on the calendar: Wednesday morning, August 12th. This is a potential cracker. The wind is glassy from the southwest, and we're looking at a solid 7ft swell from the NNW. The energy is ramping up big time (563), and the period is 8 seconds. This is expert territory, but it's going to be firing. The forecast says "expect very good surf conditions," and I'm feeling it.
And then, Thursday morning, August 13th, is an absolute standout. It's dead flat calm – zero wind – and glassy. We've got a 6ft swell from the NNW with strong energy (523). This is going to be as clean as it gets. For a reef break, this is the pick of the whole 16 days. The swell is still solid, so it's for the experienced crew, but the conditions will be perfect.
We wrap up with Saturday morning, August 15th, another calm, glassy start with a 6ft swell. A solid finisher.
To be honest, if you can't get out on those glassy mornings, the rest of the time is a write-off due to the wind. The afternoon sea breezes just ruin it. Dracula is a consistent spot, but it needs that wind to play ball. The big standout is Thursday morning, August 13th – that's the one you don't want to miss.
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.
