The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here.
This is a weird one. We’ve got a big, exposed reef break that catches everything, but the wind is just not cooperating for most of this forecast. The water’s at 70°F which is pretty average, nothing weird there.
The first real chance for anything good isn’t until Wednesday, July 22. The swell is a solid 6ft from the NNW, and it’s coming with a glassy morning. That’s your window. The combined energy is moderate (416), but with zero wind, it’s going to be clean.
The whole first week is mostly cross-shore junk. Plenty of swell, but the wind is messing it up. We get another glassy morning on Friday, July 24 with a 5ft NNW swell and moderate energy (268). Then again on Saturday, July 25 with a 6ft NNW swell and energy climbing to 441. These are your best bets in the near term—light offshore from the N and glassy. For a spot that’s “very consistent,” we’re fighting for clean windows here.
Then things get heavy. Real heavy. By Sunday, July 26 afternoon, we’re looking at 10ft swell from the NNW (energy at 1001) but the wind is up to 22 mph cross-shore—that’s a washing machine. It stays big and messy through Tuesday. The swell direction is hitting the reef right, matching the optimum W, but you’d need to be an expert to even think about it.
The standout of the entire 16 days? That’s Wednesday, July 29 morning. It’s a 8ft swell from the NNW, energy is strong (1197), and the wind is glassy from the N. That’s the big one. These are excellent conditions for experienced surfers. It’s a longer period swell at 9 seconds, which is decent, but at this size and on a reef, you better know what you’re doing. Crowds are possible, but for quality like that, it might be worth sharing the lineup.
After that, the swell drops and the wind stays messy right through to the end. Nothing to get excited about in the first few days of August.

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.
