Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dracula over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.
The only wave in the game for the next 16 days is Dracula, a heavy, expert-level reef. It's a very consistent spot, exposed to the west. The next week and a half is a real mixed bag, with a few pure windows and a lot of blown-out afternoons.
The pattern starts off sluggish. On Friday, July 31st, we've got a 4.6ft swell from the NNW. The morning is glassy, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and the energy is weak at 192. It's surfable, but nothing to write home about. The afternoons get wrecked by a fresh NNW cross-breeze.
This frustrating pattern holds through the first week. The mornings are the only chance, with clean, glassy conditions on Thursday, August 6th and Friday, August 7th, but the swell is small (3.9ft) and weak. The wind is perfect, but the waves are just flat.
Now, things get better. The real standout is Saturday, August 8th. The morning is absolute perfection: zero wind, glassy conditions, and a solid 5.2ft of NNW swell. The energy is moderate at 261, and while the period is still short at 7 seconds, the clean conditions will make it feel much better. This is the best surf on offer in the first half of the forecast.
Then, Sunday, August 9th morning is another gem. The swell is 5.9ft from the NNW, still glassy, and the period has stretched to 8 seconds, bumping the energy to 383. This is a really solid morning session. After that, the winds turn on in the afternoons, but the mornings keep offering windows.
Looking further out, Monday, August 10th morning has a 6.6ft swell with an 8-second period, but the wind is a light cross-breeze, so it's a bit lumpy. The real standout for the second week is Tuesday, August 11th morning. The swell is 5.9ft, period is 8 seconds, energy is a solid 378, and the wind is glassy. It's another clean, punchy morning, but it's a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.
The afternoons are consistently blown out by strong NNW winds, making it a no-go. Being a reef break, the NNW swell direction is the sweet spot, and the water is about average for this time of year. Crowds can show up sometimes.
For the advanced crew, the mornings of August 8th, 9th, and 11th are your best bets. The 6.6ft+ swells are getting into the expert-only territory, but the wind is the deciding factor.
Stay salty.

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.
