The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we've got on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, we're looking at a solid run of waves coming our way, but it's gonna take a bit of patience to get the really good ones. The wind is going to be the main character in this story, and it's a bit of a villain most afternoons. The mornings are where the magic is.

The first surf worth paddling out for is on Friday, 21 August at Dracula. It's a reef break, and it's advanced only, so this isn't a spot for learning. We're looking at a 5ft swell from the NNW with a short 7-second period. The energy is moderate though, sitting at 224. The water is 71°, which is about average for this time of year. The morning has a light cross-shore wind, so it'll be a bit bumpy, but it's clean enough to get some waves. The afternoon is a write-off with a fresh 19 mph cross-shore wind making a mess of it.

Saturday, 22 August and Sunday, 23 August are similar stories. The swell drops a bit on Sunday to 4ft, but the period jumps to 10 seconds, hinting at some better shape. The energy on Sunday afternoon is even strong at 771. But again, the wind gets in the way, especially in the afternoons. The mornings are just marginal.

Now, Monday, 24 August, the morning has a 5ft swell from the NW with an 11-second period, and the energy is a solid 647. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it's not perfect, but it's a step up. The afternoon is still a no-go.

Here's where it gets interesting. Tuesday, 25 August morning is a standout. The wind goes glassy, flat calm, and that's a huge deal. You've got a 5ft swell from the NNW, period 9 seconds, and moderate energy at 387. It's not the biggest swell, but glassy conditions on a reef break mean clean, lined-up waves. This is the best on offer in the first week. The afternoon chops it up again.

Wednesday, 26 August and Thursday, 27 August mornings are also worth a look. Thursday morning is glassy again with a 6ft swell from the NNW, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit crumbly. Still, clean waves are clean waves.

Friday, 28 August morning is another big standout. Glassy conditions, 7ft swell from the NNW, and a 9-second period. The energy is strong at 696. This is going to be a proper session. The size is getting up there, so this is for experts only, but the conditions should be firing. The afternoon is a complete write-off.

The weekend of Saturday, 29 August and Sunday, 30 August sees the swell holding around 7ft to 7ft, but the wind is a light cross-shore, not glassy. It's still surfable, but not the quality of the Friday before.

Looking further out, Monday, 31 August morning has glassy conditions with a 6ft NNW swell. Then Tuesday, 1 September morning is a real standout. The wind is light and cross-offshore, which is clean, and the swell is 7ft from the NNW with strong energy at 568. The afternoon swell jumps to 8ft, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, making it a lumpy mess. That morning session is the one to circle.

After that, Wednesday, 2 September and Thursday, 3 September mornings are still clean, with the swell dropping back to 4ft to 6ft. The energy drops off a lot. Friday, 4 September morning is glassy with a 5ft swell, and Saturday, 5 September morning is a 5ft swell with a light cross-shore, but the afternoon gets messy again.

Overall, the real winners are the glassy mornings: Tuesday, 25 August, Friday, 28 August, and Tuesday, 1 September. The conditions are clean, the swell is solid, and Dracula will be doing its thing. The afternoons are consistently blown out, so don't waste your time. Get out there early.

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.
