The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the only game in town for the next couple weeks: Dracula. This is a heavy, advanced reef break, and it's exposed to the west, so it needs a decent pulse to get going. The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is about 0.9°F cooler than the yearly average, so nothing weird there, just your standard autumn feel.
The week ahead is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some swell on the way, but the wind is going to be a menace most of the time, keeping things messy. The early part of the window is a write-off, with poor surf conditions and cross-shore winds. Things start to look up on Monday morning, September 7th. The sky clears, and we get a glassy 2ft swell from the NNW with a nice long period of 12 seconds (345 combined energy). The water will be smooth as a lake. That’s a proper window for a reef like this, with the clean conditions giving you a real chance to pick off some lines.
Tuesday morning, September 8th, still has some clean-ish potential with a 3ft swell from the NW and a 12-second period (362 combined energy), but the wind is a little cross-onshore, so it won't be as perfect as Monday. The real standout, though, is shaping up to be Wednesday morning, September 9th. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the NNW with a shorter 7-second period, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, leaving the face clean (474 combined energy). That’s a solid, punchy little wave for the advanced crew.
After that, the wind continues to be a problem through the middle of the month, with a lot of fresh cross-onshore and lumpy conditions. Thursday morning, September 10th, is another clean window with a 6ft swell from the NNW and clean cross-offshore winds (415 combined energy), but it’s a bit bigger, so it’s for the experienced lot only. Friday morning, September 11th, is glassy again with a 6ft swell from the NNW (447 combined energy), another solid session if you can line it up.
The second week is a bit of a gamble. There’s a big spike of energy coming in on Thursday, September 17th, with a 8ft swell from the NNW (835 combined energy) and light cross-offshore winds in the morning, but the afternoon turns into a messy 10ft beast with strong cross-onshore winds (1126 combined energy). The real long-range hope is Friday morning, September 18th. It’s glassy, with a 6ft groundswell from the NNW and a 9-second period (587 combined energy). That’s a very promising window for some serious waves at Dracula, but it’s a long way out, so don’t bank your week on it just yet.
Overall, the best bet is the glassy windows on Monday the 7th, Wednesday the 9th, and Friday the 11th. If you’re an expert, the bigger, cleaner windows on the 10th and the 18th are worth keeping an eye on. The crowds are listed as "sometimes" here, so expect a few other chargers out on those good days.
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.
