The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here.
If you’re itching for a wave, you’re gonna have to dig deep for patience. The first 12 days of this forecast are a total loss. The wind is all cross or cross-onshore, the swell is mushy, short-period, and just plain messy. There’s nothing to get excited about until the very end of the run.
The only real standout comes on Friday, August 28th. Dracula (reef break) has a morning window where the wind is light and clean out of the NNE, a nice cross-offshore. The swell is a solid 6ft from the NNW, with a 7-second period. The combined energy is moderate (358). It’s a short window before the wind goes bad, but for that one morning, it’s “expect good surf conditions.” For an advanced spot, that’s your chance.
But the real gold is on the weekend. Saturday morning, August 29th, it’s glassy. Zero wind. 5ft of NNW swell, period 7 seconds, moderate energy (216). The water temp is about average for this time of year. Another clean call: “expect good surf conditions.” Then Sunday morning, August 30th, it’s glassy again, with 5ft of NNW swell and a slightly longer 8-second period, moderate energy (251). That’s two mornings in a row of absolute glass. Then Monday, August 31st, it’s glassy again with 4ft of swell and a 9-second period, moderate energy (216). So, the whole first 12 days are a bust, but those last three mornings? That’s the payoff. Expect crowds at Dracula—it’s a popular spot for a reason.
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.
