The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. We’re talking about Dracula, a serious reef break, and the next couple weeks are gonna test your patience. There’s a big dry spell at the start where you’re better off stayin’ on the beach.
Right from the jump, Saturday the 8th is a total loss. You’ve got 6ft of short-period, 7-second swell from the NNW, but it’s getting torn apart by a 25 km/h cross-shore. The combined energy is moderate at 311, but it’s just a lumpy, messy mess.
Sunday the 9th ain’t any better. The swell builds to 7ft in the afternoon, energy hits 471, still moderate, but that 30 km/h cross-shore makes it a washing machine. No thanks.
The first real chance comes Monday morning the 10th. Swell drops a bit to 6ft from the NNW, period still short at 7 seconds, but the wind goes glassy. Energy is moderate at 289. It’s clean, it’s glassy, and that’s your best bet for the first week. This is the standout for the near term.
After that, it’s a frustrating pattern from Tuesday the 11th through Saturday the 15th. Swell hangs between 4ft and 6ft, but the wind is almost always a moderate cross-shore or cross-onshore at 25 km/h. The quality just isn’t there.
We get another small break on Thursday morning the 13th. 5ft of NNW swell, 7-second period, but with a dead calm, glassy morning. Energy is 281. It’s surfable and clean, but the window is short.
Sunday morning the 16th looks good again. 6ft from the NNW, 7-second period, and glassy winds. Energy is 314. Another clean morning session.
The week of the 19th sees the swell drop way off. Wednesday the 19th has tiny 3ft waves and glassy conditions, but it’s just too small to get excited about. Energy is weak at 116.
Then we get a late pulse. Saturday the 22nd of August brings a bigger, longer-period swell. The morning shows 7ft from the NNW with a 9-second period and a light cross-onshore. That’s a long-range promise, but the wind isn’t perfect. The energy is strong at 661. This one has potential, but it’s over a week away, so keep it on your radar.
The water temp is 71°, which is about average for this time of year. Dracula is a heavy, consistent reef break for advanced surfers only. If that Saturday the 22nd morning cleans up, it could be the one, but for now, Monday the 10th and Thursday the 13th are your cleanest, glassy bets.

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.
