Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dracula over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down.
First off, Tuesday the 1st of September is a total dud. North wind at 30 km/h, lumpy cross-chop, and 2.2m of messy swell. Don’t even look at it. The first real chance comes Wednesday morning the 2nd. That’s your window. A 2.0m NNW swell with an offshore ESE breeze at 6 mph – clean, glassy conditions. Water temp is 20°, which is a bit colder than average for this time of year, so you’ll want a spring suit at least.
Dracula is the only break in play. It’s an advanced reef, very consistent, exposed to the west. That Wednesday morning is the definite standout. Glassy, 2.0m, 8-second period, moderate energy (567). Crowds can show up sometimes, so get in early.
After that, Thursday morning the 3rd is small and glassy – 1.3m, but only 202 energy. It’s rideable, but nothing to write home about. Then there’s a long stretch of junk until...
Saturday morning the 12th of September. Glassy, 1.3m, light wind, clean. Not big, but it’ll be fun. Then Sunday morning the 13th has a similar setup: 1.3m, cross-off breeze, clean.
Looking way out, Wednesday the 16th of September afternoon shows a 1.1m NW swell with a 13-second period – that’s real groundswell for a reef. But the wind is cross-shore from the NNW at 12 mph, so it’s not pristine. Energy is moderate at 515. Worth a look if you’re patient, but don’t plan your week around it.
Your best call is Wednesday morning the 2nd. That’s the one. The rest of the outlook is mostly waiting and hoping. There’s a long gap in the middle with nothing worth chasing.

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.
