Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dracula over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’ve got the skinny on what’s coming our way locally.
Right now, the outlook starts off pretty flat and ugly, and it stays that way for a while. The first proper surf worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Sunday the 12th. Before that, from Friday the 10th through Saturday the 11th, we’ve got weak, short-period junk with cross-shore winds and barely any energy – combined wave energy struggling below 100. Not worth wetting the wetsuit.
The first glimmer of hope comes Sunday morning, July 12th, at Dracula. It’s an advanced reef break, so this isn’t for the faint of heart. Swell is a modest 3 ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds – that’s groundswell, meaning longer lines and more power between sets. The wind is glassy... dead calm. That’s a major positive; the surface will be clean and smooth. Combined wave energy hits 145, which is moderate. The water temp is 71°, about 2° warmer than average for this time of year, so a touch warmer than usual.
Unfortunately, that Sunday afternoon turns to rubbish with strong cross-onshore winds. Then Monday the 13th morning looks promising with 4 ft NW swell and offshore wind, but the data says conditions are poor, so I’d hold off.
The real standout in this whole forecast is Friday morning, July 17th. Dracula gets a 6 ft swell from the NNW with an 8-second period. It’s not super long period, but the energy is strong – combined wave energy at 416. The real kicker: glassy conditions, dead calm wind. For an advanced reef break, that’s about as sexy as it gets. Expect clean, powerful waves, but at 6 ft, it’s getting solid, so this is expert territory.
Another potential highlight is Saturday morning, July 25th. Dracula sees a 6 ft NNW swell with a cross-offshore breeze from the SSE, and the combined energy is 408 – strong. The wind will clean it up nicely. Again, not for beginners at that size.
There’s a big gap of mediocre or poor conditions between these windows. Don’t get too excited about the long-range stuff on the 24th and 25th – it’s promising, but we’re talking over a week out, so keep an eye on the wind updates.
Crowds at Dracula can pop up sometimes, especially when it’s clean, so get in early if you can.
For now, the best of the best is Friday July 17th morning and Saturday July 25th morning – both at Dracula, both glassy or clean, with solid swell. Everything else is a fight with the wind.
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.
