The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the cards for Dracula, but only a handful of windows where the wind plays nice. This is a reef break, advanced only, and it’s as consistent as they come – so when it’s good, it’s really good. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Dracula (reef, exposed) – The first real standout is Friday morning, 28 August. Glassy, clean, 7ft of NNW swell at 8 seconds. That’s a moderate combined energy (536), and with zero wind, the surface will be a mirror. The size is pushing into expert territory, but for the advanced crew, this is a session to lock in. The swell direction is straight out of the NNW, which is exactly what this spot wants. Saturday morning, 29 August, is another glassy gem: 8ft from the NNW, 9-second period, moderate energy (757). That’s the biggest, cleanest combo of the outlook. After that, the mornings get a bit dicey with cross-shore wind, but Tuesday morning, 1 September, brings a glassy dawn again: 7ft, NNW, 8 seconds, solid energy (575). This one’s further out, so less certain, but promising.
The afternoons are a write-off – strong cross-onshore winds, choppy, no good. On Friday morning, 4 September, and Saturday morning, 5 September, there’s a bit of swell hanging around (5ft to 6ft), but the wind is light cross-shore, so it’s marginal. The best bet is that first glassy Friday, then Saturday, then the following Tuesday. Monday morning, 7 September, wraps things up with a tiny 5ft with calm glass – a fun, smaller session to finish.
Bottom line: if you’re an advanced surfer, hit the glassy mornings. Don’t bother with the afternoons.
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.
