The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and settle in. Rusty here, with a look at what Dracula’s got cooking for us.
First off, this spot is a reef break and it's exposed to the west, so it’s going to catch just about anything that rolls in. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but once it gets going, there are some real gems hidden in this 16-day window. The water temp is sitting at about 69°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
Alright, let’s break it down. The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are a no-go with messy, choppy conditions. The swell is there on the Thursday morning, a tiny 1 ft, but it’s just not happening. We need to wait until Friday the 28th morning for the first real sign of life: a 6 ft swell from the NNW, but it’s still a bit messy with a cross wind. That energy is moderate (310). Not the one.
The weekend looks bumpy too, but keep your eye on Monday the 31st. That morning is where it starts to turn. We’ve got a 5 ft swell from the NNW and it’s glassy – dead calm wind. That’s your first real clean window, but the swell’s only got moderate energy (226). A good one to ease back in.
Now, the standout. Without a doubt, the best on offer is Wednesday the 2nd of September morning. We’ve got a clean 7 ft swell from the NNW, a perfect light cross-offshore wind from the south, and the wave energy is strong (547). This is Dracula doing what it does best – a solid, powerful, clean groundswell. This one is for the experienced crew; 7 ft is getting up there. This is the session to circle on your calendar.
Thursday the 3rd morning is also very clean and glassy with a 6 ft swell (391 energy), a solid option for a follow-up session. And then, look at Friday the 4th morning – absolutely dead calm, glassy conditions, with a smooth 6 ft swell (504 energy). That’s another top-tier morning.
Things start to fade and get wind-affected into the second week. The 6th and 7th are pretty average, but then we get another clean, glassy window on Tuesday the 8th morning with a 4 ft swell and the 9th morning with a tiny 3 ft swell.
So, to sum it up: grit your teeth through the first week, and you’ll be rewarded. The clear standout window is from Wednesday 2nd September morning through to Friday 4th September morning, with Wednesday being the absolute pick of the bunch for bigger, punchier, clean surf. Get on it.
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.
