G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some solid windows coming up at Dracula (reef, advanced). The first proper surf worth getting out of bed for hits Sunday morning, July 12. It’s small but clean—3 ft from the NW with an 11-second period, light NNW wind making it glassy. The energy’s moderate (178), so it’s not pumping, but it’s a nice, clean little wave to ease into the day. Water temp’s about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

That afternoon, the wind cranks up to 16 mph and it gets choppy, so that’s a write-off. Monday morning, July 13, is the standout early in the week: 4 ft from the NW, 9-second period, glassy with a WSW breeze at 3 mph. The conditions are clean, the energy’s moderate (235), and it’ll be a fun, tidy session. Crowds are possible here, so get in early. The afternoons turn ugly again with cross-onshore wind.

Tuesday through to Wednesday afternoon, July 14–15, is a no-go—windy, choppy, and messy. The swell bumps up on Thursday morning, July 16, with 6 ft from the NNW, 8-second period, and glassy conditions. That’s a solid, clean wave but at 6 ft it’s pushing into expert territory at this reef break. Energy’s strong (404). The morning’s the pick; the afternoon gets cross-shore chop.

Friday morning, July 17, is another beauty: 6 ft from the NNW, 8-second period, dead calm with zero wind. Glassy perfection. Energy’s strong (325). The post-lunch breeze ruins it. Saturday morning, July 18, offers similar glassy conditions with 5 ft from the NNW (289 energy)—another clean, fun session before the afternoon chop.

There’s a gap of poor afternoons and marginal mornings until Monday morning, July 20, when it fires again: 6 ft from the NNW, 8-second period, dead calm, glassy. Energy’s strong (499). That’s a big, clean wave—only for the experienced crew. The rest of that week is mostly windy and cross-shore, with a few marginal mornings like Tuesday July 21 (5 ft, light cross-shore) and Wednesday July 22 (5 ft, gentle cross-shore), but nothing special.

Thursday morning, July 23, is a small, clean option with 4 ft from the NNW, 7-second period, glassy with WSW wind (139 energy)—surfable but ordinary. Another gap of poor conditions follows until Sunday morning, July 26, when 6 ft from the NNW rolls in (356 energy), but it’s cross-shore and marginal. The real standout late in the window is Monday morning, July 27: 6 ft from the NNW, 8-second period, glassy with a light SSW breeze. Energy’s strong (420). That’s a clean, powerful session for the experts, but it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it.

Overall, the best bets are the glassy mornings—especially July 13, 16, 17, 18, 20, and 27. Dracula’s a reef, so it handles the longer-period groundswell well, but with the bigger days over 5 ft, it’s strictly for the advanced crew. The afternoons are mostly blown out. If you’re a beginner, steer clear of the bigger swells—this spot gets heavy.

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.
