Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dracula over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for Dracula. It's a reef break that's very consistent, exposed to the west, and it needs a clean W swell to really shine. This is an advanced spot, so don't be a hero if you're not ready for it.
Right now, we're in a bit of a dry spell. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, making everything a choppy mess. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no complaints there.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Tuesday, July 15th. The swell builds to 5ft from the NNW, but more importantly, we get a glassy morning with a light N wind. The combined energy is moderate at 201, and the conditions are labelled as "good surf." It's not a massive swell, but it's clean. Then Thursday morning, July 16th, is looking even better. The swell pushes up to 6ft from the NNW, combined energy jumps to 346 (moderate to strong), and we have a glassy SW wind. That's two mornings in a row with clean, head-high-plus waves on offer.
The standout of the whole forecast, though, is the morning of Saturday, July 18th. The swell is a solid 6ft from the NNW, the combined energy is a healthy 376, and the wind is dead calm – totally glassy. You couldn't ask for cleaner conditions. The swell period is 8 seconds, so it's a shorter period wind swell, but at this reef, with that kind of glass, it'll be offering up some fun, punchy rights. This is your best bet of the entire 16-day window. Just keep in mind that the crowds are "sometimes" an issue here, so it might pay to get out early.
After that, the surf slowly tapers off through the end of the third week and into the fourth, with the swell dropping back below 3ft and the winds turning messy again. There's nothing else that really jumps out as a must-surf session.
So, don't hold your breath for the next week or so. Mark your calendar for the morning of Saturday, July 18th. That's the one to chase.
Rusty.

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.
