The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking straight at the Dracula reef break for the next couple of weeks.
Right now, it’s a bit of a flat, frustrating start. We’ve got some small, weak, and messy swell coming in from the NNW, but the wind is all wrong – cross-onshore – so the conditions are just poor. Water temp is sitting around 71°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no weirdness there, just bad surf. This light, lumpy junk hangs around through the first few days, with the swell bumping up a touch but the wind staying on it. Honestly, not worth paddling out.
We start to see a glimmer of hope on Sunday the 23rd morning. The swell drops back a bit to about 4ft from the NNW, but the period stretches out to 10 seconds. That longer period suggests better-shaped waves, but the wind is still cross-onshore, so it’s going to be bumpy and frustrating. Not the standout.
The real standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Tuesday the 25th of August. We’ve got a solid 5ft NNW swell, and the wind goes completely glassy. That’s a magic window for Dracula. It’s an exposed reef break, and with that clean, glassy surface, it’s going to be firing. The combined energy is moderate (307), and the cross-shore wind is non-existent. This is the morning to be out there. Expect a few other folks in the water though – crowds are sometimes a thing here.
Another absolute beauty is the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. The swell is a touch bigger at 6ft from the NNW, but the wind is calm – completely glassy. The combined energy is pushing into strong territory (593). This is going to be one of those sessions where the reef just lines up perfectly. Get on it early.
Looking further out, Tuesday the 1st of September brings a very promising morning with a 7ft NNW swell and glassy conditions, but that’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it. Anything over 8ft here is strictly for experts, and we see that on the Tuesday afternoon. For the rest of the second week, the afternoons get chopped up by fresh cross-shore winds, but the mornings keep offering glassy windows with good, clean swell. The gap between the standout mornings is generally filled with marginal, wind-affected surf, so pick your windows.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
