The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you straight up – this sixteen-day window for Dracula is a real mixed bag, and honestly, it’s mostly a frustrating tease. We’ve got a solid, consistent supply of NNW groundswell pushing in, with moderate wave energy (213 to 1058), but the wind is the villain in this story. For the first week and a half, it’s nearly all cross or cross-onshore, and fresh breezes are going to chop things up something shocking. There are a few fleeting, glassy windows where it cleans right up, and those are the only moments worth paddling out. Otherwise, this setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially afternoons when the wind howls.
The standout session is hands down Thursday morning, August 6th. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the NNW, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. The water temp is about average for this time of year. At a reef break like Dracula, that’s a recipe for silky, lined-up waves with that 7-second period keeping things punchy. Moderate energy (402) but with zero wind, it’ll feel way better than the number suggests. Get on it early.
Your next best look is Friday morning, August 7th – same story, slightly smaller at 5ft, but glassy again with a light NE breeze. Moderate energy (330). It’ll be clean, but the swell is a touch weaker, so Thursday is the pick.
After that, the afternoons are a write-off. I wouldn’t bother until Monday morning, August 17th rolls around. That’s a full week later. The swell is 6ft from the NNW, moderate energy (328), and it’s glassy with dead calm winds. Could be a proper little gem to finish the run, but it’s far out, so keep an eye on it – long-range promise but less certain.
For the rest of it, you’ve got lumpy cross-chop, increasing swell up to 8ft by the 15th of August, which is getting into expert-only territory, but with that strong cross-wind, it’s just messy. Not worth it. The breaks are fairly consistent with swell, so it won’t stay poor forever – forecasts can change.
Stay patient,
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.
