The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Dracula.
Alright, so we’ve got a solid run of surf coming through at Dracula, but honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The first few days are pretty ordinary, with a lot of cross-shore wind and choppy conditions. The week starts off with a Friday morning that’s glassy but pretty weak—small 4ft swell from the NNW, period of 7 seconds, and the energy is only 163. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. That afternoon, the wind picks up and it gets messy.
Weekend is a write-off, really. Saturday and Sunday are both blown out with cross-onshore winds and chop. There’s a bit more size on the Sunday morning, hitting 5ft, but the cross-shore wind and 7-second period keep it from being any good. The energy is moderate at 244, but it’s just not clean.
Monday and Tuesday are similar—cross-shore winds, lumpy, not worth getting excited about. The swell size stays around 5ft to 7ft, but the period is short (6-7 seconds), so it’s not packing much punch. Wednesday the 5th has a morning that’s marginal, with 6ft and 7-second period, but the wind is still cross-shore.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Thursday the 6th of August morning is a standout. The swell is 7ft from the NNW, period of 7 seconds, but the wind is light and glassy. The energy is strong at 540, and the conditions are described as “glassy.” That’s the kind of clean, lined-up surf you’d want to paddle out for. The water temp is about average for this time of year, sitting at 69°F, so nothing unusual there.
Friday the 7th of August morning is another cracker. The swell is 8ft, still from the NNW, period of 8 seconds, and it’s glassy again. The energy is 705, strong and powerful. This is the best of the lot—clean, solid, and with that long-period energy that will wrap around the reef nicely. It’s an advanced break, so only for the experienced crew.
The following week has a few more highlights. Tuesday the 11th of August morning is glassy with 6ft swell and 8-second period, but the energy is lower at 327. Wednesday the 12th of August morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze and 5ft swell. Thursday the 13th of August morning is a real standout—glassy, 7ft swell, 8-second period, and energy of 664. That will be a beauty.
But keep in mind, Dracula is a reef break, so it’s for advanced surfers only. And with the crowds listed as “sometimes,” you might have a few mates out, but it’s not a circus. The swell direction is perfect for the spot, coming from the NNW, which is the optimum.
The second week has some decent mornings, like Saturday the 15th of August with a glassy 6ft, but the afternoons are all blown out. Overall, the best windows are the Thursday 6th and Friday 7th mornings, and the Thursday 13th morning. If you can get out there, you’ll be smiling.
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.
