The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for our local stretch.
Water’s sittin’ at about 71°F – right where it should be for this time of year. The first few days, from Wednesday the 19th through the end of the following week, are mostly a write-off. The wind is out of the NNW, mostly cross or cross-onshore, stirring up the surface and making the waves messy. Swell heights are mostly under 5 feet with short, weak periods, and the combined energy is weak to moderate (130 to 280). Not much to write home about.
There’s a real dry spell until we hit the end of the month. The first proper standout is Friday the 28th of August in the morning. Dracula (reef) is pumping 8ft of NNW swell with a 9-second period – that’s real groundswell, good energy. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE at just 3 mph. The surface is clean, and the combined wave energy is strong (813). This is a session for the experts – that size is too much for beginners.
Saturday the 29th of August morning is another beauty. Glassy conditions, a light N wind, and the swell holds at 7ft from the NNW. Energy is still strong (641). Again, this is expert territory, but the clean, glassy reef will be firing.
Sunday the 30th of August morning also looks tasty – glassy again, with a light SW wind, and 7ft of NNW swell. A little smaller, but still solid, with good energy (602).
Later on, Wednesday the 2nd of September morning is a sneaky one – dead calm, glassy, with 7ft of NNW swell. That’s more manageable for a wider range of surfers, but still on the bigger side. Energy is moderate (523). A rare, calm morning.
The real standout of the whole outlook? No doubt Friday the 28th of August morning at Dracula. The clean cross-offshore wind, the strong groundswell, the energy – that’s the one to circle. The Saturday and Sunday mornings are also top-notch. Just keep in mind, by the time we hit early September, the forecasts are a bit less locked in, but that glassy morning on the 2nd is still one to watch.
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.
