The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a long stretch ahead at Dracula, a solid reef break that’s exposed to the west. Water temp’s about 70°, pretty normal for this time of year – no drama.
The pattern starts quiet and stays that way for a while. Sunday the 26th kicks off with a 8ft NNW swell but it’s a mess – 30 km/h cross wind, lumpy chop, and the energy is moderate (862). Not your day. Monday the 27th morning shows a slight improvement with a clean 5ft NNW swell and light cross-offshore breeze, but the energy drops to 296. It’s surfable but nothing to write home about. From there, we slip into a flat spell. From Monday afternoon all the way through to Sunday morning, August 2nd, it’s just poor or ordinary – tiny waves, onshore crud, and cross-chop. That’s a solid stretch of maybe five or six days where you’d be better off doing something else.
Now, Monday morning August 3rd, things finally wake up. Glassy conditions, 6ft NNW swell with moderate energy (451). It’s clean, the reef will hold it, and the period is only 8 seconds – not a long-period groundswell, so it won’t be too straight. That’s a solid option for a Monday morning session.
But the real standout? Saturday morning August 8th. Glassy again, 7ft NNW swell, and the energy jumps to strong (578). That’s a proper bump. It’s pushing into bigger territory, so it’s more for experienced surfers – beginners will find it a handful. Light air, clean faces, and Dracula exposed to the west will handle that direction well. A beautiful window.
Then Sunday August 9th morning – also glassy, 8ft NNW swell, energy up to 978. That’s strong, clean, and big. Experts only on this one. And Monday August 10th morning brings a cross-off breeze, 8ft NNW swell, and the energy hits 1176 – that’s very strong. It’s an excellent session for experienced surfers, but the afternoon gets messy with onshore cross-winds and 12ft swell. The morning is the pick of that day.
So to wrap it up: the first week is mostly a write-off, then Monday August 3rd gives a nice clean glassy session, and the real gold is Saturday August 8th through Monday August 10th mornings – glassy, clean, solid swell. Get on it.
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.
