The Lowdown
Righto, let’s talk about Dracula. This is a heavy, very consistent reef break for advanced surfers only. It’s exposed to the west and absolutely loves a clean, glassy day. The water temp is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start here. The first few days up to the 28th are pretty poor – onshore wind and chop making a mess of things. Then it starts to come good. The standout is Saturday morning, 29th August. The wind goes glassy from the west-northwest, and we’ve got a clean 7ft swell from the north-northwest. The wave energy is pumping hard (778) and that combo is gonna produce some well-shaped, powerful reef waves. It might get a bit busy though.
Sunday the 30th drops back a notch with lumpy wind, but Monday morning, 31st August is another clean one. Glassy calm, 5ft swell from the north-northwest, and the energy is still solid (259). A nice follow-up session.
The first week of September has a few clean morning windows mixed in with afternoon choppy cross-shore winds. Wednesday morning, 2nd September is glassy again with a solid 6ft swell (465 energy) out of the north-northwest. Thursday morning, 3rd September is also glassy with 5ft swell from the same direction, just a touch smaller.
Then we hit another rough patch of onshore wind and drop in size until Monday morning, 7th September. That one has clean, light offshore wind with a 6ft north-northwest swell (455) – a proper long-range call that looks good but keep an eye on it.
Wednesday morning, 9th September is glassy again from the west, with a 4ft north-northwest swell (254), and Thursday morning, 10th September is also glassy with 5ft swell (357). These are good, clean options if you can get on them.
The best of the lot is that Saturday the 29th. Get on 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.
