Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dracula over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the immediate forecast for Dracula.
Right off the bat, this one’s a tough pill to swallow. We’re looking at a real flat spell to kick things off. There’s nothing worth paddling out for on Saturday 11th July or Sunday 12th July – the swell is tiny and the wind is messy. The next few days don’t offer much either; the wave energy stays weak (combined energy values in the low hundreds, like 33 all the way up to just 295) with mostly onshore or cross-shore winds chopping everything up. If you’re a kite surfer, those afternoon breezes from the NNW at 15–19 mph might get you going, but for a surfboard, it’s a no-go.
The first real flicker of hope comes on Thursday morning 16th July. It’s glassy – dead calm – with a head-high NNW swell pushing 6 ft and a combined energy of 310. That’s a proper session, but it’s only a morning window, because the afternoon gets ruined by a 16 mph cross-shore.
The standout, without a doubt, is Sunday morning 19th July. Again, glassy conditions, with a solid 7 ft swell from the NNW. The combined energy is up at 523, which is a strong, punchy level of power. This is a serious session for advanced surfers only – that size is too big for beginners and even intermediates will find it challenging. Expect clean, well-shaped waves at this exposed reef break. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so get in early.
The second standout comes on Thursday morning 23rd July. It’s the middle of the second week, so take it as promising but a bit less certain. Glassy conditions again, with a 5 ft swell from the north (combined energy 249). That’s a more manageable size for strong intermediates up to experts. The wind is off the SSW at just 3 mph, so you’ll be surfing clean lines.
There is a long, quiet stretch through the middle of the week, with plenty of poor conditions, but these two mornings – the 16th and especially the 19th – are your best bets. For the record, the water temp is about average for the time of year, no surprises there.
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.
