The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie, let’s get into it.
We’ve got one spot on the radar for the next 16 days: Dracula. It’s an advanced reef break that loves a solid west swell, and it’s super consistent. The water is sitting at 69°, which is right around average for this time of year – nothing weird going on with the temps.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Tuesday afternoon, July 21st, is a no-go: 7ft of NNW swell, but it’s all over the place with a 16 mph crosswind and a short 7-second period. The energy is moderate (473), but the conditions are just messy.
Wednesday morning, July 22nd, is where it starts to get interesting. The swell drops a touch to 5ft, still from the NNW, but the wind goes glassy. The energy is moderate (275), and it’s clean. This is a solid window for a session. The wind picks up again in the afternoon, so it’s a morning-only call.
Thursday morning, July 23rd, is more of the same magic. Swell builds to 6ft, glassy wind from the WNW. The energy is moderate (367), and it’s looking nice. Thursday afternoon gets blown out by a 19 mph crosswind.
Now, Friday morning, July 24th, is the standout. The swell is 7ft, glassy conditions, and the energy jumps to a strong 509. The period is 8 seconds, which is decent. This is the best clean surf on offer – get in the water early. The wind absolutely howls in the afternoon, so don’t be late.
Saturday morning, July 25th, is still rideable with 8ft of swell, but the wind is light cross, making it a bit lumpy. The energy is strong (924). It’s a marginal call. Sunday and Monday mornings both have glassy windows, with 8ft and 7ft respectively, but the energy is dropping. Monday morning, July 27th, is another good shout with clean 7ft surf and glassy wind.
The second week is a bit more of a gamble. The swell sticks around, but the wind is consistently cross. The mornings of July 30th and 31st offer glassy conditions with 6ft and 6ft of swell, but the energy is moderate. The pattern is a morning glass-off followed by afternoon blow-outs. The wind shifts are your only hope for a clean wave.
The very end of the run, around August 5th, shows a small 4ft swell with a clean cross-off wind from the SSE. It’s tiny, but it’s the only clean option in the last week.
Overall, your best bet is Friday morning, July 24th. Glassy, 7ft, strong energy. That’s the one. Thursday morning and Monday morning are also solid. The rest is a wait-and-see game with the wind.

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.
