The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Dracula.
First up, this is a solid reef break that only works on a west swell. It’s an advanced spot, very consistent, and with the wind swinging around, it’s going to be a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. Don’t expect much action straight away.
The opening days look pretty grim. Monday the 14th is a write-off with that cross-chop and not enough size. Tuesday the 15th morning is glassy, which is promising, but the swell is tiny, only about 2 ft from the NW at 11 seconds. It’s rideable but nothing to get excited about. Wednesday the 16th turns ugly again, with a messy 8 ft on the afternoon, blown out by a 25 mph cross-wind.
The first real standout window is the morning of Saturday the 19th. We get absolute glass, a clean 5 ft of NW groundswell at 9 seconds, and moderate wave energy (446). The wind is dead calm. It’s a small, clean day for a confident surfer who knows the reef.
After that, things wobble. Sunday the 20th brings a long-period 14-second NW swell but it’s small at 3 ft, and it stays cross-shore. Not the best combo for a reef.
Now, the real highlight looks to be Saturday the 26th morning. The forecast shows 4 ft of NW swell at 13 seconds, very clean with glassy conditions and light airs. The combined swell energy is strong at 628. This is the standout morning of the whole outlook – clean lines, solid power, and you’ll have the place to yourself if you’re early. Expect some long-period energy which will really suit the reef setup here.
The morning of Friday the 25th is also worth a mention: 2 ft but with a very long 17-second period and a glassy surface, combined energy of 420. It’s small and clean, almost hypnotic.
There are some bigger pulses later in the second week (like 6 ft on Tuesday the 29th morning) but the wind stays on the cross, and periods drop. Stick to the glassy mornings.
Overall, Dracula won't show its teeth for the first week, but the last weekend of the month has some absolute gems for the advanced crew. Keep an eye on Saturday the 26th.

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.
