The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got on the cards for Dracula.
It's a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, with a lot of onshore and cross-shore wind mucking things up for most of it. We're looking at a real slow start, with nothing worth paddling out for until we get past the first few days.
The first real chance for a wave comes on the 29th of August (Saturday morning). That morning, Dracula is looking at a solid 7ft swell from the NNW with a period of 11 seconds. The real story is the glassy conditions – absolutely no wind – which will keep the reef smooth and clean. The combined energy is moderate to strong (909), so there's some punch behind it. This is a top shelf window for the advanced crew. Crowds can be a factor here, so get out early to have a piece of it to yourself.
The following week, 1st of September (Tuesday morning) shapes up as another goodie. We've got a slightly bigger 7ft swell from the NNW, with an 8-second period, and it’s glassy again. The water temp is sitting at 71°F, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year. The energy is still solid at 618. That’s the pick of the first week for sure.
Then, hold onto your boards, because 7th of September (Monday) delivers something special. Now, this is over a week away, so treat it as promising but not locked in. We’re seeing a 5ft swell, but it's coming from the WNW with an incredible 21-second period. That’s a very long-period groundswell that will wrap in with serious energy (2276). The water will be clean with a light cross breeze. For a reef break like Dracula, that long period is perfect – it’ll groom the wave face beautifully. This could easily be the best day of the outlook, so mark the calendar and hope it holds.
In short: The first few mornings are a write-off. Target the morning of the 29th for the first clean, solid session. The 1st of September is a solid runner-up. But if the 7th of September lives up to its potential, that's the one you'll remember. 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.
