The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Well, we’ve got a bit of a slow starter. The first few days are pretty ordinary, but hold tight – there are some real gems hiding in this 16-day window if you’re patient. The main event is a reef break that needs the right conditions to really shine, and when it comes together, it’s magic.
First up, we’ve got Saturday the 5th. The morning at Dracula is glassy with a light S wind at 3 mph, but the swell is a weak 3 ft from the NNW with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak (101), so it’s really just small, mushy waves. Not worth getting excited about. The afternoon gets worse with a cross-shore NNW wind, so give it a miss.
Sunday the 6th morning is a little better with a clean 4 ft from the NNW, period still short at 6 seconds. Energy is moderate (136), but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE at 3 mph. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The afternoon is a write-off with a cross-shore wind.
Now, Monday the 7th is where things start to get interesting. The morning is glassy, wind from the SSE at a whisper. The swell drops to 2 ft, but the period jumps to 12 seconds – that’s a groundswell. The energy is still moderate (342), but that long period means the waves will have more shape and push. This is a point break setup, so those long-period lines should wrap in nicely. It’s a standout for the early part of the forecast. The afternoon turns choppy, so get out early.
Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th are messy with onshore and cross-shore winds, and the swell gets bigger but junky. By Wednesday the 9th, the swell hits 6 ft and energy is strong (575), but the period drops to 8 seconds and it’s cross-onshore. That’s a big, lumpy mess. Not for paddling – that’s kite-surf territory.
The real standout is Thursday the 17th morning. Dracula sees a solid 7 ft of NNW swell, period 8 seconds, and the energy is very strong (980). The wind is light from the NNW at 3 mph, keeping it cross and clean. This is a big, powerful swell, but at 7 ft, it’s expert-only here. The crowds are possible, and it’s a very consistent reef break. But the quality is there for those who can handle it.
Then, Friday the 18th morning is another absolute cracker. Glassy calm winds, 5 ft from the NNW with a 9-second period, and the energy is strong (539). The forecast says “expect very good surf conditions” – and I’m stoked. This is the best on offer in the whole window. Clean, good size, and that reef will be firing. Get on it.
The last few days fade out with smaller, weaker swell and poor winds. By Sunday the 20th, the energy drops to 63 and the swell is only 2 ft – a real dud.
So, to sum it up: the first week is mostly a wash, but the mornings of Monday the 7th and Saturday the 12th (glassy, 5 ft) are worth a paddle. The two absolute standouts, however, are the mornings of Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th. That’s where you want to be.
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.
