Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dracula over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about the next 16 days for the only spot that matters: Dracula. It’s a heavy, advanced reef, super consistent, and loves a west swell coming in. The water is about 71°F, which is pretty normal for the time of year.
The first chance to paddle out is Friday the 21st of August. Morning has 5-foot, short-period NNW swell (7 seconds) with a light cross breeze. The energy is moderate (212). It’s okay, but not great. Afternoon gets wrecked by a 30 km/h crosswind and lumpy mess.
Saturday the 22nd is small and windy. Sunday the 23rd has a 4-foot, 10-second swell in the morning, but the wind is cross-onshore. Afternoon brings a 4-foot, 14-second groundswell with 771 energy, but it’s choppy again.
Monday the 24th morning is better: 5-foot from the NW at 11 seconds, light cross breeze, energy at 533. Still not perfect, but you can get a few.
The absolute standout – mark it down – is Saturday the 29th of August. Glassy calm, 7-foot of NNW groundswell at 9 seconds, energy of 673 (strong). That’s as clean as Dracula gets. For the advanced crew, this is the best session of the whole forecast.
Sunday the 30th morning is also good: 6-foot, glassy, energy 446. A solid session.
Tuesday the 1st of September morning has 7-foot at 8 seconds, 780 energy, light cross breeze – another good one for experts, but it’s getting big for anyone else.
The pattern is clear: mornings with light winds are your windows. Afternoons are almost always blown out. No gaps in surf, just gaps in quality. Dracula is always there, but you gotta pick your moment. Saturday the 29th is the one.
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.
