Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dracula over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Dracula. This is a reef setup, exposed to the west, so it needs a solid swell from that direction to really fire. It’s a spot that’s very consistent and only for the advanced crew; if you’re not on your game, this wave will let you know.
Right now, the water temperature is sitting at 69°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The first few days are looking rough. Wednesday the 15th has a bit of swell but it’s coming from the NNW at 4 ft, with a short period of 6 seconds. The wind is cross-onshore and the overall wave energy is weak (88). Honestly, it’s poor. That pattern sticks around through the weekend: the swell size bumps up a little to the 5 ft to 7 ft range, but the period stays short (7 seconds) and the wind is mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore, creating lumpy, choppy conditions. The combined energy gets up to moderate (380 on Thursday afternoon), but it’s not clean. There’s a gap of several days here with no real recommendations.
We finally get a glimmer of hope on Thursday the 23rd in the morning. The wind goes glassy, with a light SW breeze, and the swell is 5 ft from the NNW with a 7-second period. The combined energy is moderate (266). This is the standout moment for the whole outlook. It will be clean, with that glassy surface, and the swell is a good size for an advanced reef break. Don’t expect it to last – the afternoon gets ruined by cross-shore wind again.
Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th mornings also see glassy conditions, but the swell drops to 4 ft, and the wave quality is just ordinary.
By the final week, things fade. Sunday the 26th morning is glassy with a tiny 4 ft swell, but it’s weak (156) and not worth the paddle. After that, the swell drops below 3 ft and the wind turns messy. Tuesday the 30th afternoon sees a near gale from the NNW at 34 mph, which will completely destroy any shape.
Keep an eye on Thursday the 23rd morning. That’s your best shot for a clean session at Dracula in this 16-day window. The rest is mostly a write-off.
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.
