The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here with the 16-day outlook. We’ve got one spot doing all the work, and you’ve got to be smart about when you paddle out. The first decent surf shows up on the morning of Wednesday, July 29th, but there’s a bit of a gap before the real quality.
The only break is Dracula, a serious, exposed reef that’s made for a west swell. This is a very consistent, expert-only wave. The water temp is 69°F, which is about average for this time of year.
Wednesday, July 29th morning kicks off small, with waves around 4ft from the NNW. The period is a weak 6 seconds with a combined energy of 149 – not much grunt. But the wind is glassy, so you can get a few clean ones. The real first call is Thursday, July 30th morning. Glassy conditions with a light offshore from the WNW and a solid 6ft of swell. The period is 7 seconds, and the combined energy is 315. That’s a clean, shoulder-high reef wave. Don’t sleep in; the afternoon gets messy.
The next few days are blown out. The morning of Sunday, August 2nd is glassy again with a 5ft swell, but it’s still short-period. The morning of Monday, August 3rd is the same – glassy and 6ft.
Then the size picks up, and the wind plays ball on Thursday, August 6th morning. You’ve got a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNE and 6ft of swell. The combined energy is a strong 416. This is a proper session for the experienced surfer.
The rest of the week is a mix of cross-shore junk until the big standout. Sunday, August 9th morning is the absolute best. Dead calm, glassy, with a solid 7ft of swell and a combined energy of 563. That’s a big, powerful, clean reef. At this size, it’s expert territory.
The final gem is Wednesday, August 12th morning. Zero wind, flat calm, with 7ft of swell and a combined energy of 786. This is a monster day for the crew who know what they’re doing. Don’t miss it.
Rusty out.

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.
