The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Dracula. This is a reef break that’s wide open to a W swell, and the water temp is about 69°, which is pretty normal for the season.
The first real chance to get wet is Sunday morning, August 30th. We’re looking at a 6ft swell from the NNW, with a 9-second period, and it’s glassy. The combined energy is moderate (474). That’s a clean, quiet session.
Monday morning, the 31st, brings a 5ft NNW swell, period 8 seconds, with a light offshore wind. The energy is moderate (311). It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot better than the afternoons, which are mostly a mess with cross-shore winds.
The first standout is Wednesday morning, September 2nd. Glassy conditions again, a 7ft swell from the NNW, period 8 seconds. The combined energy is strong (715). That’s a big wave for a reef – for experts only, but the conditions will be unreal.
After that, Thursday and Friday mornings are okay, with swell around 5ft to 6ft, but the wind is a bit touchy.
The next big moment is Saturday morning, September 12th. Glassy, a 4ft swell from the NW, but with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (567). It’ll be clean and lined up, but that long period might make it a bit fat on the take-off for a reef.
Then Sunday morning, the 13th of September, is a real gem. Glassy, a 3ft swell from the WNW, but a massive 15-second period. The energy is strong (817). That’s a deep-water groundswell that will wrap in perfectly. The winds are light and offshore. Expect crowds here, so get there early.
The second week has some big, raw swell around the 11th (8ft, 8 seconds, cross-on) that’s only for the brave. The 12th and 13th mornings are your best bets.
That 15-second period on the 13th is a long-range forecast, but when it’s this clean, it’s worth planning around.

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.
