The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, with a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
We're starting off with a bit of a slow burn. The first few days, Wednesday the 22nd through Friday the 24th of July, are pretty average. There's some swell around, but the wind is just not playing ball. It's mostly cross or cross-onshore, messing up the surface. You'll see waves in the 5ft to 6ft range, but it's a real struggle to get a clean one.
Things start to get a little more interesting on Saturday, the 25th. The morning session at Dracula is looking like a bit of a window. The swell is coming in at a solid 8ft from the NNW, and we've got a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate at 686, and it's cleaning up nicely. This is a good one for the advanced crew, but the swell is getting big enough to be a handful.
The real standout, the one you circle on the calendar, is Monday, the 27th of July. The morning is pure magic. The wind is glassy, zero mph, and the swell is a very solid 7ft from the NNW. The combined energy is moderate at 541, and the conditions are just perfect. Dracula is a reef break, very consistent, and it's going to be firing with clean, lined-up walls. It's an advanced spot, and with that size, it's only for the experienced. Keep in mind, the period is a short 8 seconds, so it won't be super long lines, but the shapes should be good. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
After that, the week gets a bit messy again with wind until we hit another gem. Thursday, the 30th of July, has a glassy morning with a 6ft NNW swell and moderate energy of 423. It's a good session, but not as punchy as Monday.
Looking further out, the first week of August has a couple of potential standouts. Saturday, the 1st of August, has a clean afternoon session with a 10ft NNW swell, but that's only for experts. The real treat is Sunday, the 2nd of August. The morning is glassy again, with a 8ft swell from the NNW and a longer period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 999, and the conditions are set to be very good. And then Monday, the 3rd of August, also has a glassy morning with a 7ft swell. Both of these are top-notch, but with the swell being over 8ft on Sunday, that one is for the experts only. Monday is a bit more accessible for the strong intermediate.
So, the best of the best? Monday the 27th of July morning is the clear champion. It's a perfect, glassy, clean session with a solid, powerful swell. The second-best is the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August, but it's a bigger, more powerful swell for the experts. The rest of the window is a mix of so-so or windy conditions.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
