Dracula Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.

Honestly, the next two weeks are a bit of a mixed bag for Dracula, and I gotta say, the start is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for all the way from now until the middle of next week. It’s gonna be a real quiet stretch on the water.

Things start to stir a little around Sunday the 12th of July. That morning we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the NNW with the wind going glassy – dead calm – and that’s about the only bright spot. The combined energy is moderate at best (145), and the conditions are just “surfable but very ordinary.” You might get a few closeouts if you’re desperate, but it’s not calling my name.

The real talking point comes much later, on the weekend of the 19th of July. Sunday the 19th morning brings an increase in size to 7ft from the NNW, with a combined energy that’s strong at 710. It’s still riding with light cross-onshore winds, so the surface won’t be perfect, but for the experienced crew, there’s some grunt in the water. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s not a classic groundswell, but that’s still plenty of push. Monday the 20th morning is also in the mix with consistent 7ft from the NNW, moderate energy (687), and a slight cross-shore breeze which might clean it up a bit. These are the real standouts, but they’re a solid week and a half away, so treat it as promising but not locked in.

Given the swell sizes are pushing over 8ft later on the Sunday and Monday afternoons, this is strictly for the experts. The winds are often cross or cross-onshore, so expect lumpy, choppy conditions unless you hit those rare glassy windows. Crowds can pop up now and then, so keep your head on a swivel. For the beginners, there’s nothing in this window that’s safe or fun – stick to the shore.

Rusty.
