The Lowdown
Righto, let's have a look at what we've got for Dracula. This is a proper advanced reef set-up that needs a decent push from the west. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a mixed bag.
We kick off with a real tease. Monday, September 7th, early morning is looking like the absolute standout of the whole run. It's glassy, with a clean 2 ft of groundswell sliding in from the WNW with a long 15-second period. The combined energy is a solid moderate (387), and with that wind dead still, it's going to be as clean as a whistle. This is the one to circle.
After that, it drops off a cliff. From Monday afternoon right through until the end of the second week, we've got a long stretch of messy, onshore slop. The wind swings around from the north, mostly cross or cross-onshore, and picks up a lot. The swell does push up over 5 ft at times – on the 9th, 10th and 16th of September we see 7 ft and 8 ft – but it's windblown, short-period junk (7 to 8 seconds). The combined energy bounces around moderate all the way up to strong (510, 507, 526), but the chaotic conditions make it a write-off for a clean paddle.
There is one other potential window worth watching. On Thursday, September 17th, the morning session goes glassy again as the wind eases off to nothing from the NE. The swell jumps to 8 ft with a very strong combined energy (881). That is serious, expert-only territory. At that size on a reef like Dracula, you’d better know what you’re doing. The period from the NNW is only 8 seconds though, so it'll be a bit lumpy and won't have the classic long-period grind.
The rest of the forecast into the third week is either too small, too short-period, or blown out. September 21st morning has a moment of glass with 3 ft, but the combined energy is weak (168) and it won't offer much.
In short: Get on that Monday, September 7th dawn patrol. The Thursday, September 17th morning is the only other real chance for the big-wave crew, but it's a long way out, so treat that one as a promising whisper for now.

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.
