The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for this 16-day stretch.
We’re lookin’ at a solid run of swell at Dracula, but the wind is gonna be the story here. The first few days are a write-off – Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are a complete mess with cross-onshore winds and choppy, poor conditions. The swell is there but it’s not worth paddling out for. You’ll be sitting there gettin’ blown off ya board.
The 16-day window kicks off with a real slow start. You’ve got a couple of days of raw, ugly surf before we see any light.
Friday morning, August 28th – This is the first real glimmer of hope. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the NNW with glassy conditions. The wind is dead flat, a light northerly breeze. The water temp is a pretty standard 71°F for this time of year, so no drama there. The combined energy is moderate (353). The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but with glassy conditions, it’ll be clean enough to get a few fun ones. The best part of this day is the morning session.
Saturday morning, August 29th – This is the standout. The swell is 7ft from the NNW, and the wind is absolutely dead calm – glassy perfection. The period is 10 seconds, so we’re getting some decent groundswell with good shape. The combined energy is strong (876). This is a serious session for experienced surfers. The crowd profile says “sometimes” so you might have a few others out, but it’s worth it. This is the best on offer.
Sunday morning, August 30th – Another good one. Glassy conditions again, with a 6ft swell from the NNW. The period is 9 seconds, so good energy (426). It’s a solid follow-up to Saturday. Clean, fun waves.
Monday morning, August 31st – A bit of cloud cover, but glassy wind again. 5ft swell from the NNW, period a short 7 seconds, so it’s a bit weaker (247). Still, it’s clean and surfable – a good option for a quieter session.
Tuesday morning, September 1st – Another glassy morning, same story: 5ft swell from the NNW, period 8 seconds (313). Clean and fun.
After that, the wind starts to turn on us again. The afternoons get messy with cross-onshore breezes. The mornings from the 2nd through the 4th still have some clean windows, but the swell is dropping and the quality fades.
Thursday morning, September 3rd – Glassy again, 5ft swell from the NNW, period 8 seconds (268). A worthwhile paddle if you’re keen, but it’s a step down.
Friday morning, September 4th – A bit different. Clean cross-offshore wind from the SSE, 4ft swell from the NNW, period 8 seconds (221). It’ll be a little more lined up.
From the 5th of September onwards, it goes pretty quiet. The swell drops to under 3ft, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The 6th and 7th have some tiny, weak waves. The 10th of September sees a slight pickup with a glassy morning, 3ft swell from the NNW (192), but it’s small and ordinary. The rest of the run is a flat spell. A bit of a bummer after that killer Saturday.
So, the call is this: Saturday morning, August 29th is the one to circle on the calendar. Glassy, solid 7ft groundswell, and a strong 876 combined energy. For the experienced crew, it’s gonna be a treat. The mornings of the 28th, 30th, and 31st are your backup sessions.
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.
