The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s brewing for Dracula.
We’ve got a fair run of surf on the table, but it’s a slow starter. The first few days aren’t worth paddling out for—there’s some swell but the wind and chop ruin it. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are write-offs, with messy cross-onshore winds and poor conditions. Thursday the 27th stays flat and weak. The wait is real.
Things finally look up on Friday morning the 28th. A clean 5 ft swell from the NNW with a cross-offshore breeze sets things right. The wave energy is solid (494). It’s not huge, but it’ll be lined up and rideable.
But the real standout—the one to circle on your calendar—is Saturday morning the 29th. Glassy conditions, a clean 5 ft swell from the NNW with a long 11-second period. That’s groundswell, and on a reef setup like Dracula it’ll push through with real shape and power. Energy is pumping (831). The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Crowds are possible here, so get in early if you want it to yourself.
Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st keep the clean mornings going with 6 ft and 5 ft waves and glassy wind. They’re good, but not quite the Saturday peak. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd of September also have glassy starts with building swell up to 7 ft, delivering very good conditions.
Then on Tuesday the 8th of September, we get a real monster session for the experts. A 5 ft swell from the WNW with a massive 19-second period—that’s very long-period groundswell. On a reef, this will unload deep and heavy. Combined energy is through the roof at 2289. Glassy conditions, no wind. This is for seasoned chargers only.
Through the second week, the mornings stay the pick, but afternoons get messy again. The last few days drop off in size, with smaller 3 ft to 4 ft stuff on the 4th and 5th of September, but even then, a glassy morning on the 6th and 7th serves up 6 ft to 7 ft waves with clean conditions and good energy.
Overall, the best windows are Saturday morning the 29th of August for a proper session, and Tuesday morning the 8th of September for big-wave specialists. Don’t waste your time on the afternoons or the first few 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.
