The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
The only spot on the radar for a while is Dracula, a heavy, advanced reef break. It's a consistent wave that needs a good W swell to really fire, and the wind is the real wildcard here.
For the first few days, the wind is going to be a problem. The wait starts on Wednesday the 29th with a small, weak 3ft NW windswell, but the wind is up and the surf is a mess. It's not worth paddling out for. The next few days, Thursday the 30th through to Saturday the 2nd of August, see the swell bump up a bit, around 4ft to 6ft, and the energy is starting to build. The real story is the wind. Thursday morning the 30th is the first real tease: glassy conditions with a 6ft NW swell. That's a window. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a touch cooler than average for this time of year, but nothing crazy. The rest of those days are mostly cross-shore or onshore winds, and the waves are just ordinary.
Now, look at Monday the 3rd of August. That morning is a standout. The wind goes dead calm, glassy, and the swell is a solid 6ft from the NW, with plenty of energy. For a wave like Dracula, that's going to be clean and powerful. This is the best session in the first week, no question. The afternoon blows out though.
The next real highlight is a long way off. Friday the 7th of August morning is another absolute gem. Again, glassy conditions with a 7ft NW swell, period stretching to 8 seconds, and the energy is pumping. This is a big, clean wave at an advanced reef. For the experienced crew, this is the one to circle on the calendar. After that, Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th have decent morning glass with 5ft to 6ft swell, but the size and energy are dropping.
The second week is a bit of a mixed bag. There's a run of days with poor wind and chop, but the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August pops up again with a clean 4ft swell and glassy conditions. Then Thursday the 13th of August morning has a 7ft NW swell building, but the wind is cross-shore, making it marginal. The swell gets bigger in the afternoon, hitting 8ft, but the wind is up and the quality is gone.
The real standout, the one you wait for, is Friday the 7th of August morning. Calm, glassy, solid 7ft NW groundswell with plenty of energy. That's your best bet at Dracula.
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.
