The Lowdown
Righto, let’s get into it. The only game in town for the next couple of weeks is Dracula. It’s an advanced reef setup, and it’s exposed to the west, so it’s picky about swell direction. We’ve got a bit of a slow start here. Monday the 10th is a write-off with a messy 5.6 ft cross-shore mess, so don’t bother. The first real chance to get wet comes on Tuesday morning the 11th. It’s not a standout, but you’ll find some 4.3 ft surf with glassy conditions—clean, but ordinary. Wednesday morning the 12th is similar with 3.9 ft and glass.
Now, things start to look up on Thursday morning the 13th. Expect good surf conditions with 4.3 ft and a glassy surface. The combined swell energy is moderate at 233. That’s your first real window for a decent session. Friday and Saturday mornings the 14th and 15th are marginal but rideable with 4.6 ft and light cross-shore winds.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Sunday the 23rd of August. Early morning you’ve got 5.2 ft from the NNW, glassy conditions, and the combined swell energy is strong at 395. This is the best on offer. Clean, solid, and consistent. Crowds are possible at Dracula, so get in early.
Then on Monday the 24th, we get a very long-period groundswell—15 seconds from the NW—but the swell drops to 2.3 ft. That energy is strong at 494, but for a reef, the long period can make waves a bit straight. Still, it could offer some sneaky lines for the crew who know the place. Tuesday the 25th morning has 4.6 ft from the NNW with a 9-second period and moderate energy at 498, but it’s a cross-shore breeze, so not as clean.
Water temp is sitting around 70.9°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Overall, don’t expect much before the 13th. Thursday the 13th morning is your first decent call, but Sunday the 23rd is the one to circle. 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.
