The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. I’ve been staring at the charts for this spot, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but you’re gonna have to pick your moments.
The only real player on the board is Dracula. This is an advanced reef break, and it’s very consistent, so it’s always got something going on. The water’s sitting at 72°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year.
Looking at the next few days, Thursday the 6th is a write-off. The morning’s got a 6ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is cross and the energy is a weak 428, and the call is marginal. The afternoon is even worse. Friday the 7th is more of the same – cross winds and poor conditions.
Now, Saturday the 8th, that’s where it gets interesting. The morning is looking glassy with a 7ft swell from the NNW and a moderate combined energy of 522. The wind is a glassy light NNE breeze, which is a massive positive. This is the standout window. The swell is a bit solid at 7ft, but for an advanced crew, it’s going to be clean. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but the clean conditions make up for it.
Sunday the 9th morning is also a good shout. The wind is a clean cross-off breeze, and the swell is a similar 7ft from the NNW with a combined energy of 527. It’s a little less glassy than Saturday, but still clean. The afternoon gets blown out again.
Monday the 10th morning is another glassy session. The wind is dead calm, and the swell is a clean 6ft from the NNW. The energy is a weaker 330, so it’ll be less punchy, but it’ll be a fun, user-friendly size.
After that, the week from Tuesday the 11th through to the 18th is pretty grim. It’s a long stretch of cross winds, poor conditions, and dropping swell. The energy drops into the low hundreds by the 18th, with the swell dropping to 3ft. You’d be better off staying in bed.
Further out, we’ve got a couple of flickers of hope. Thursday the 20th morning has a clean cross-off wind and a 4ft swell from the NNW with a long period of 9 seconds, and a combined energy of 271. It’s small, but it’ll be clean. The long period means the sets will be more powerful and spaced out, which is a classic Dracula trait. The best bet of the second week is actually Saturday the 16th morning. The wind is glassy, and the swell is 5ft from the NNW with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 244. It’s small, but clean. Don’t get too excited about it, it’s a long way off.
So, my call for the best on offer is simple: Saturday the 8th morning at Dracula. The glassy conditions and that solid 7ft swell are going to be the best of the whole run. Sunday the 9th morning is your backup. Get on it.

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.
