The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty. Alright, we’ve got a tricky 16-day window ahead for Dracula. This is a consistent, exposed reef break that takes a west swell, so we’re looking at a persistent NNW swell train. The water temperature is sitting at 71°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
The first few days look pretty average, to be honest. Saturday the 22nd has a bit of 5ft swell from the NNW, but it’s short period (7 seconds) and the wind is cross, making for some rippled, messy surf. The energy is weak (255). Not worth paddling for.
Sunday the 23rd stays similar with a 4ft swell, but the period lengthens to 10 seconds, which is a bit better. The morning is still cross-shore with light wind, so it’s a little cleaner, but the swell is small and the energy is still moderate (295). Monday the 24th sees a bump to 5ft from the NW with an 11-second period, but the wind is cross again, so it’s lumpy. The energy is moderate (657), but conditions are just marginal.
The real story starts to build into the end of the month. Tuesday the 27th afternoon has a 7ft swell from the NNW, but with a 18 mph cross-wind, it’s a choppy mess. The energy is strong (553), but it’s not for paddling.
Now, Saturday the 29th of August is the standout. The swell is 8ft from the NNW, with a 9-second period, and the wind is calm – glassy conditions. The energy is very strong (819). This is the best of the window. For a reef break like Dracula, that long-period groundswell energy will be solid, but the 8ft size is definitely for experienced surfers only. It’s a bit too big for beginners. The crowd is ‘sometimes’ here, so you might get a few out, but it’s a low-key spot.
Sunday the 30th is still a decent 7ft swell, but the wind swings to a light cross-shore, making it less clean. Monday the 1st of September has a 6ft swell with glassy conditions again in the morning, so that’s another good option for the more advanced crew.
After that, the second week fades. Tuesday the 2nd of September has a 6ft morning glass-off, but the swell is dropping. By Thursday the 4th, the swell is down to 4ft, and it’s a very ordinary, small, and glassy morning. The energy is weak (155). The final days are small and average, with little to get excited about.
So, the one true standout is the glassy 8ft swell on Saturday the 29th of August. That’s the session to circle. The Monday the 1st of September morning is also a nice, clean runner-up. The rest of the forecast is a mix of small, choppy, or windy conditions. It’s not a blank run, but you’ll be waiting for that one clean, big day.
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.
