The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got one spot to focus on, and it’s a classic. Dracula is a proper advanced reef break, very consistent, and it likes the swell from the west. The water temp is sitting at 68.9°, which is about normal for the time of year, so nothing weird going on there.

The first few days are a write-off. The surf is poor, and the wind is messy. Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th are not worth paddling out for. You’ll be fighting a cross-shore chop for weak, short-period waves. The combined swell energy is only around 139 (weak) and 136 (weak) on those mornings. Best to stay on the beach.

Things start to look up on Thursday the 30th. That morning is a real standout. We’ve got a 5.6 ft swell from the NNW, and the wind is glassy. That’s the magic word. The combined energy jumps to 297 (moderate), and the conditions are set to be clean. This is the best session on offer early on. The afternoon gets choppy again, so get your waves early.

Friday the 31st is a bit of a tease. The morning has a 5.6 ft swell with 305 (moderate) energy, but the wind is light cross-shore. It’s marginal, but if you’re desperate, you might find something. Saturday the 1st of August is similar, with a 4.6 ft swell and 203 (moderate) energy, but the wind is onshore in the afternoon.

Sunday the 2nd of August brings another clean window. The morning session has a 4.6 ft swell from the NNW with a light cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is 224 (moderate), and the conditions are clean. It’s not the biggest, but it’ll be fun.

Monday the 3rd of August is a weird one. The swell drops to 3.9 ft, but the wind is glassy again. The energy is 189 (weak), so it’s surfable but very ordinary. Tuesday the 4th of August is a bit bigger at 4.9 ft with 251 (moderate) energy, but the wind is messy.

The next real standout is Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning is glassy again with a 4.9 ft swell from the N, now with a slightly longer period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is 307 (moderate). This is another chance for clean, lined-up waves. The morning is the call.

From Thursday the 6th of August, the swell starts to build. The morning sessions have 5.9 ft to 7.2 ft of swell, with energy levels climbing from 414 (moderate) to 784 (strong) by Saturday the 8th of August. This is where it gets serious. The problem is the wind. It’s mostly cross or cross-onshore, which will make it lumpy. For a reef break like Dracula, these bigger swells (over 8.2 ft) are only for experts anyway, and the chop will make it a real battle. The morning of Friday the 7th of August has a 6.9 ft swell with 583 (strong) energy and light cross-shore wind, which is a big step up in size and power, but it’s still not as clean as the glassy days.

By Sunday the 9th of August, the swell drops back to 5.6 ft. The morning is glassy again with 388 (moderate) energy. This is another solid option. The longer period of 9 seconds will give the waves more shape.

The second week sees a gradual drop. Monday the 10th of August and Tuesday the 11th of August have smaller 4.3 ft swell with light cross-shore winds, but the energy is lower at 257 (moderate) and 231 (moderate). The last real highlight is Wednesday the 12th of August. The morning is glassy with a 5.6 ft swell from the NNW and 305 (moderate) energy. That’s a clean, fun session to finish the run.

The best bet on offer is the glassy morning of Thursday the 30th of July. The 5.6 ft swell with no wind on a consistent reef is going to be smooth and punchy. The other standout is the glassy morning of Wednesday the 5th of August, where the swell is a bit smaller but still clean and lined up. The early mornings of the 9th and 12th of August are also worth a look if you miss the others.

The crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Dracula, so you might have a few out there, but it’s not a circus.

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.
