The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The charts are showing a bit of a tease for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got one standout window, and a bunch of mornings that’ll get the blood pumping, but the afternoons are going to get chopped up by the wind.
The first real call is for Friday morning, the 7th. Dracula is showing 6ft of NNW swell with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light from the south and it’s glassy. That’s the kind of clean you want. Combined energy is at 390, which is moderate, so there’s some push there. The water is 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s an advanced reef break, so it’s not for the faint of heart, but that morning session will be firing. The afternoon is a write-off, though. The wind swings to the NNW at 12 mph and goes cross, making it a lumpy mess.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th follow the same pattern. Glassy mornings with 6ft to 7ft of NNW swell, and then the fresh breeze kicks in for the afternoon, ruining any chances of a clean session. The energy is moderate, sitting at 397 and 481 respectively. It’s a classic case of getting out early or not at all.
Monday the 10th is a bit smaller, 5ft in the morning, still glassy, but the energy dips to 256. It’s still worth a paddle but the quality drops a touch. Tuesday the 11th is a no-go, with a cross-on wind in the morning that just makes it sloppy.
The next window that’s worth circling is Wednesday morning, the 12th. The wind is completely calm, 0 mph, and glassy. The swell is 5ft from the NNW. It’s smaller, but with no wind, it should be clean and organized. Energy is 221, so it’s on the weaker side, but sometimes you get better shape on a smaller wave. The crowd factor is a possibility here, as it’s marked as "sometimes," so you might have some company.
After that, it’s a couple of days of cross-onshore junk until Friday the 14th morning. That’s a glassy one again, 5ft, but the energy is still modest at 235. The morning of Saturday the 15th is also glassy with 5ft, and the energy bumps up to 338.
Then we hit a flat spell. The swell drops off, and the energy is weak. The mornings are mostly cross or cross-on, and there’s just not much to get excited about. We’re looking at a stretch from the 17th to the 20th where the surf is just not playing the game. It’s a normal lull for the area, but it can be a test of patience.
Now, here’s the big one. The standout of the whole run is Friday morning, the 21st of August. This is the one to plan for. The swell is a solid 7ft from the NNW, with an 8 second period. The wind is light from the southwest, glassy, and the energy rockets up to 505. That’s a strong signal. The water is still warm, and the conditions look prime. This is a proper groundswell pulse, and Dracula is going to be handling it well. It’s an advanced wave, and at 7ft, it’s getting into the territory where only the experienced should be out. The afternoon tops out at 8ft, but the cross-shore wind messes it up.
Finally, Saturday the 22nd morning is still worth a look. It’s 6ft with a cross-off light breeze from the SSE, and the period stretches to 9 seconds. Energy is at 486, so it’s still got some punch. It’s a good follow-up, but the magic will be on Friday morning.
So, the takeaway: the mornings are your friend. Get out there early, especially on the 7th, 8th, and 9th, and absolutely do not miss the morning of the 21st. That’s the one that’ll get your heart racing. The afternoons are universally blown out, so save your energy for dawn patrol.

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.
