The Lowdown
Alright, let's get down to it. Rusty here, and I've been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks. It's a tale of two weeks really, with one clear standout window if you’re willing to be patient.
The whole show is happening at Dracula, a dependable reef that takes that west-northwest swell head-on. But for the first few days, it's just not gonna be pretty. Tuesday and Wednesday (August 4th and 5th) are looking pretty average, with short-period swell and a fresh cross-shore making things lumpy. The afternoons are a total loss, wind gets up and chops everything up.
But then, hold on. Thursday night into Friday morning (August 7th) is when the stars align. The wind is forecast to go totally glassy, and the swell is still pumping at around 2.2m from the NNW. That's the kind of morning you dream about. The energy is building into the moderate-to-strong range [646], and the reef will be doing its thing. That's the standout. Book the time off.
Saturday morning (August 8th) still has size, but that clean window slams shut. The rest of the weekend turns into a battle with the cross-shore again. There's another chance Sunday morning (August 9th) for a glassy session, and while it's a bit smaller, at 1.9m, a clean Dracula is still a proper treat. That's your backup plan.
Now, the second week is a different story. The swell gets smaller and the consistency drops off. We're looking at more marginal conditions with the cross-shore wind never really letting up. There's a bit of size on the 14th and 15th, but it's going to be messy and big—over 2.5m. That's strictly for the experts at a spot like this. Water temp is pretty normal for this time of year, so no worries there.
So, to sum it up: Friday the 7th, early morning, that’s the one to chase. Sunday the 9th is a very good second. After that, it’s all about waiting for the next pulse.
Rusty out.

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.
