Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dracula over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Right, let’s talk in feet and Fahrenheit for those who think that way.
The next couple of days are a bit flat, but the first real window of decent surf starts on Friday, August 28th at Dracula. This is a heavy reef break, exposed to the west, and it’s strictly for the advanced crowd. It breaks very consistently.
Water temp is about 70°F, which is totally average for this time of year.
Friday morning brings a 6-foot swell from the NNW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate (363), and the wind is dead calm – glassy. That’s a huge positive; it’ll be clean as a mirror. It’s not huge, but a solid start.
The real standout is Saturday, August 29th, in the morning. We’ve got a 7-foot swell from the NNW, but the period jumps to 10 seconds – proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is very strong (955). Wind is dead calm again, glassy. That’s the pick of the whole run. It’ll be powerful, clean, and the reef will be working beautifully. Crowds can be sometimes an issue, so get there early.
Sunday morning, August 30th, is also worth it: 6-foot swell, 8-second period, glassy wind. Good, but not as punchy as Saturday. The energy is moderate (403).
Monday, August 31st, morning is another glassy one with 6-foot swell and an 8-second period – clean but nothing special. Energy is moderate (348).
Wednesday, September 2nd, morning shows some promise: 8-foot from the NNW, period of 8 seconds, and glassy wind again. The combined energy is very strong (840). That’s a decent mid-week option, but it’s getting big – over 8 feet later in the day, so that morning window is for experts only. The swell direction matches the optimum west, so the reef should handle it well.
After that, the surf fades fast. By Friday, September 4th into the second week, we’re down to 4 feet or less, with mostly cross or onshore winds. There’s a brief blip on Sunday, September 7th morning with a 3-foot swell from the NW, but it’s a long 13-second period groundswell. Combined energy is moderate (273) and it’s glassy, so it’ll be clean, but it’s small and better for the reef than a beach break. That’s a promising but less certain option for the second week.
Overall, the top of the list is Saturday morning, August 29th – that’s the one to circle on the calendar. Clean, strong, and the reef will be dialed. After that, it’s a slow fade into small, choppy stuff. It’s been a patchy run, but forecasts can change.

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.
