Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Dracula. It’s a bit of a slow burn this time, so sit tight.
Right now, and for the first few days, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. The surf is small and pretty gutless, with weak energy readings in the 30s and 40s and short-period windswell that just won’t get its act together. The winds are messy too, mostly cross or cross-onshore, making for choppy conditions. It’s not worth paddling out, honestly.
We get a small bump in energy on Sunday the 12th, with the combined energy climbing into three digits (107 for the morning, 181 for the afternoon) and a 10-second period showing up later in the day, but the wave heights are still only around 2ft to 3ft, and the wind stays cross. It’s still not good enough to call a session.
The first real sign of life shows up Monday the 13th morning. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the NNW, the combined energy hits a moderate 205, and the period stretches to 7 seconds. The wind is light and cross, but the rating still calls it marginal. There’s a hint of something better, but it’s not clean enough yet.
Now, if you’re patient, the standout window opens on Wednesday the 15th of July. We get a glassy morning with 6ft of NNW swell, a period of 7 seconds, and a combined energy reading of 297. This is the best we’ve seen by a long shot. The water temperature is a very warm 70°, which is about 2° above the norm for this time of year – a nice little treat. The wind is glassy, and the surf is clean. This is the one to aim for if you’re an advanced surfer, because a 6ft reef break with that energy can get a bit punchy.
Thursday the 16th morning is similar: glassy again, with a clean 5ft from the NNW and energy at 262. Another solid, clean option.
Out towards the end of the run, Sunday the 19th morning looks interesting with a glassy southerly wind and 5ft of NNW swell, reading 241 for energy. Then the biggest push comes on Wednesday the 22nd of July. That morning kicks up to 8ft from the NNW with a very strong combined energy of 846 and an 8-second period. By the afternoon, it’s a solid 10ft with a 9-second period and energy of 1708 – this is serious power. But that’s only for the experts; it’s too big for anyone else, and the wind turns cross in the afternoon, so the morning window is your only shot. The rating is marginal, so it’s a gamble, but the size is there.
Honestly, for the whole run, the standout is the glassy morning of Wednesday the 15th. That’s your best bet for a clean, fun session before it gets too rowdy later in the week.
Cheers,
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.
