The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, let’s talk about what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. This stretch is a classic case of patience paying off. The wind is going to be a bit of a wildcard here, but the consistent, long-period groundswell from the northwest will reward those who time it right.
The main event is Dracula, a very consistent, advanced reef break that’s fully exposed to the west-northwest. The water temp is sitting right about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 27th is a no-go with scrappy, low-energy surf and a fresh cross-breeze kicking up lumps. The wait is worth it though. Friday morning the 28th kicks things off with a glassy start, clean 2ft waves from the NNW with 7-second period, and the energy is building at 319. It’s small but clean. The real standout is Saturday morning, the 29th. That’s your session. The wind is dead calm, glassy as a mirror, and we have a solid 7ft of NNW groundswell with a 10-second period, giving it some real push. The energy is strong at 876. The reef will handle the longer period beautifully, shaping up some proper lines. Get on it early.
Sunday morning the 30th is another clean option with 5ft waves and glassy conditions, but the energy drops a bit to 379. After that, the afternoons get messy with cross-onshore winds, so it’s a morning-only game for the next stretch. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st both have clean, glassy mornings with 5ft to 6ft waves, solid enough for a fun session. The energy is moderate, around 219-364.
The pattern holds through the first week of September. The best-looking morning in that run is Thursday the 10th, with a cross-offshore breeze and 7ft of NNW swell, giving a very clean look and strong energy (718). That’s a late-week standout that’s worth marking. The afternoon of the 10th sees a big jump to 10ft, but that’s more for the crew with bigger boards and a lot of experience. The following Friday the 11th is still clean enough in the morning, but the swell is dropping.
From the 5th of September, the energy fades into the low 100s, and after the 7th of September, it picks up again. The 8th of September morning has a glassy 6ft, and the 10th is the clear highlight. The 9th of September is a bit of a mix with some cross-shore wind and 7ft, but the energy is solid at 601. The 10th afternoon is huge at 10ft, with a very strong energy reading of 1307, but that’s expert-only and the wind is a bit cross-onshore, so it’s a bit of a beast.
Overall, your best bet is Saturday morning the 29th of August and Thursday morning the 10th of September. Saturday is the cleaner, more accessible standout. Thursday the 10th is the bigger, more powerful option if you’re up for it.

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.
