Right then, let’s talk about what’s coming up at Dracula. We’re looking at a pretty flat start, honestly. For the first week or so, there’s just nothing doing – small, weak waves with onshore winds spoiling any chance of a decent ride. You’ve got a long dry spell here, from Sunday the 5th through to about Wednesday the 15th, where the best you can hope for is a few glassy mornings but with barely enough energy to push a longboard along. The wave energy is weak, with values hanging around the 50s and 60s, so don’t get your hopes up.
Now, things start to stir a little around Sunday the 12th, when we see a jump in the swell period – up to 11 seconds – and the energy finally creeps over 100 (113), but the wind's still messing it up. It’s not until Thursday the 16th that we get a glimmer of something, with a glassy morning and surfable but ordinary conditions.
But hold on. The real story is later. The standout for this whole run is Monday the 20th of July. That morning is where it all comes together. We’ve got a clean 8ft swell rolling in from the NNW, the wind is absolutely glassy from the east, and the wave energy is strong at 764. This is proper groundswell territory, and Dracula (reef) is built for this kind of direction. The period is 8 seconds, so not super long-period, but with this size and clean conditions, it’s going to be firing. This one is easily the pick of the bunch – uncrowded (only sometimes sees crowds) but expect it to be a little busy because it’s going to look perfect. That swell is over 8ft in the afternoon though, so it’s only for the experts later on.
The weekend before that, on Saturday the 18th, we also get a decent window. A 6ft swell with glassy offshore south winds in the morning – that’s a very good sign. The energy is strong (387). It’s still a bit under the 8ft mark for that morning, so manageable for strong intermediates, but it’s a good warm-up for the Monday.
Overall, don’t bother paddling out for the first week and a half. The water temp is about 68°, which is a touch below average for this time of year – nothing wild, just a little cooler than normal. Save your energy for Saturday the 18th morning, and definitely the Monday the 20th morning. That’s the one.

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.
