The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been going over the Dracula charts for the next couple of weeks, and I’ll level with you – there’s plenty of junk to sift through, but a few clean shots if you time it right. This reef loves a solid west swell, and we’ve got northwest groundswell rolling in, but the wind is the main problem. Most days it’s cross or cross-onshore from the north-northwest, which is gonna chop it up. Water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.

The first few days are a total loss. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th are all lumpy cross-shore chop with combined energy in the moderate range (338 to 479). Surf is poor. Don’t even think about it.

Friday the 11th morning is your first chance. Dracula turns glassy with a light southwest breeze at 3 mph, and a solid 1.7m northwest swell at 8 seconds, energy 345. That’s clean and surfable. The afternoon goes cross-onshore, so hit it early.

Saturday the 12th morning is another glassy window – southeast wind at 3 mph, same 1.7m northwest swell, 8 seconds, energy 376. That’s a beauty before the afternoon chop rolls in. Those two mornings are the best in the first week.

Sunday the 13th drops to 0.9m and weak energy at 127. No good.

Monday the 14th morning is a sneaky one. Dead calm, glassy, with a 0.8m northwest groundswell and a long 13-second period, energy 251. On a reef like Dracula, that long period will wrap in nicely. Small, but clean. Afternoon gets ruined by cross-shore wind.

Then there’s a big gap. From Tuesday the 15th through Saturday the 19th, it’s all weak swell under 1m, cross and cross-onshore winds, energy mostly under 200. Thursday the 17th morning is glassy with a tiny 0.6m, 10-second swell, energy 155 – surfable but very ordinary. Nothing to recommend.

Sunday the 20th morning is the real standout. Dead calm again, glassy, and a 0.9m northwest groundswell with a cracking 13-second period, energy 332. That’s the cleanest session of the whole outlook. The afternoon gets cross-onshore again.

Monday the 21st morning is clean with a light offshore, but only 0.8m at 10 seconds, energy 150. It’s okay, not special. From Monday afternoon through Wednesday the 24th, it’s back to poor conditions – cross-shore winds, chop, small swell. The last read on Thursday the 24th morning has a 0.7m, 13-second groundswell from the northwest, energy 301, but the wind is cross-shore from the north, making it marginal.

Bottom line: Friday 11th morning, Saturday 12th morning, and the absolute pick – Sunday 20th morning. The rest is mostly a fight with the wind or waiting on small waves. Choose your moments.

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.
