The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Dracula.
We're looking at a 16-day run, and honestly, it's a bit of a slow burn. The first week is pretty ordinary, but there are a few windows that'll get the heart rate up if you time it right. This is a reef break, advanced only, and it's very consistent, so when it's on, it's on. Water temp is sitting at 70°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year—no surprises there.
The first real chance to get wet that I'd be stoked on is on Friday the 11th. We've got a clean 5ft swell from the NNW, a period of 7 seconds, so not a groundswell, but it'll have some push. The real winner is the morning—glassed off, no wind, just clean lines. Combined energy is sitting at a solid 368 (moderate), and with that offshore wind, the reef should be offering up some tidy walls. Get in before the arvo wind ruins it.
Then, Saturday the 12th morning is another beauty. Similar deal: 5ft from the NNW, and again, glassy with light WSW wind. The energy drops a touch to 283, but still very surfable. This is the pick of the first week—clean, manageable size, and not too big for a standard shortboard.
Now, hold out for Monday the 14th. That morning session is the standout of the whole run. We've got a 6ft swell from the NNW, period 8 seconds, and it's glassy as hell. The combined energy jumps to 396, so there's some proper grunt behind it. This is the one you circle on the calendar. Get there early, because that glassy window won't last long, and it'll be fun before the afternoon cross-shore kicks in.
After that, it fades off. The surf sticks around but the conditions get messy, and by the end of the second week, we're dropping down to 3ft and smaller, with strong cross-onshore winds. Not worth paddling out for.
So, to wrap it up: Monday the 14th morning is your best bet—clean, punchy, and good energy. Saturday the 12th morning is a close second. The rest of the run is either too windy or too small. Stay sharp.
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.
