Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dracula over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The swell window is open at Dracula, and we’ve got a run of solid, clean conditions to kick things off this weekend. This is a powerful, exposed reef break that handles west swell perfectly, and it’s no secret why it’s a standout.
Friday morning, the 28th of August, is the real deal. It’s glassy calm, with a clean 6ft groundswell from the NNW at a 7-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 353, and the water temp is sitting at 71°, which is about normal for this time of year. Expect good surf conditions – this is the pick of the forecast. Dracula is a very consistent, advanced reef break, so you’ll need to be on your game, and crowds are possible.
The afternoon on Friday gets messy. The wind swings NNW at 16 mph, turning it cross-shore and lumpy, with the swell jumping to 8ft (1005 combined energy). That’s getting into expert territory and the quality drops off. Saturday morning, the 29th, cleans up again. Glassy conditions with a 7ft swell from the NNW, now with a 10-second period (955 combined energy). That’s very good surf – long period, clean, and powerful. The afternoon sees the wind pick up again, bumping the surface.
Sunday the 30th is a write-off with cross-onshore winds and a short period swell. Monday morning, the 31st, offers a reprieve: some clouds, light wind, and a glassy 6ft NNW swell (388 combined energy). Good surf, but not as big as the weekend. Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, is similar – glassy with a 7ft swell (499 combined energy). The afternoon, however, gets hammered by a 19 mph cross-shore wind, making it poor.
The middle of the week is a bit of a mixed bag. Wednesday and Thursday mornings have some clean-ish windows, but the afternoon winds are brutal. The size stays around 6ft to 8ft, but the onshore chop ruins it.
Then we hit a gap. From Friday the 4th of September through the weekend and into the following week, the swell drops off significantly. We’re looking at small, weak waves – mostly under 3ft – with poor conditions and light, variable winds. There’s a long period swell on the 5th (1ft at 16 seconds, 120 combined energy), but it’s weak and onshore. Not worth paddling out for.
The next real hope comes on Thursday morning, the 10th of September. Glassy conditions, a clean 4ft NNW swell at 9 seconds (278 combined energy). That’s good surf, but it’s a one-off morning window. Friday the 11th of September morning is even better: dead calm, 5ft swell at 9 seconds (467 combined energy). That’s a promising, long-range call – less certain but worth circling on the calendar. Saturday morning the 12th is also glassy with a 5ft swell (480 combined energy).
So, the standout is Friday morning, the 28th of August. The backup is Saturday morning, the 29th. The long-range potential is Friday morning, the 11th of September. Expect a solid week of waves, then a lull, then a return of clean conditions in the second week.

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.
