The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Dracula has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow start, to be honest. For the first few days, the conditions are pretty ordinary. We’ve got some swell, but the wind is ruining it. You’re looking at a lot of lumpy, choppy, cross-onshore junk that’s not worth getting wet for. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first real hint of something half-decent comes on Tuesday the 18th in the morning. The swell drops a bit to 3ft from the NNW with an 8-second period (279 combined energy), but it’s glassy. That’s your classic dawny – small, clean, and all to yourself if you’re keen on a cruisy session.
We finally get something to write home about on Monday the 24th of August. The morning looks the goods. We’ve got a solid 6ft of NNW groundswell, 8-second period, with moderate energy (356), and the wind is dead calm – glassy as a mirror. That’s the standout of the whole window. A proper, clean morning for a reef break like Dracula.
Tuesday the 25th morning is also a beauty, with 5ft from the NNW and glassy conditions (209 energy). Not as much size as Monday, but still clean and workable.
After that, the winds get messy again until Thursday the 27th of August morning. That’s another cracker: 6ft from the NNW, 8-second period, and once again, flat calm and glassy (498 energy). That’s a bigger, punchier wave at 6ft, so it’s one for the experienced crew – beginners might find it a handful.
The rest of the run into the end of the month is a mix of okay-ish mornings with light cross-shore winds and afternoons that get blown out. Nothing else worth shouting about.
So, the pick of the fortnight is hands-down Monday the 24th of August morning, with Tuesday the 25th and Thursday the 27th mornings as solid backup options. Just remember, Dracula is a consistent spot, but it can get crowded sometimes, so get in early for those glassy windows.
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.
