The Lowdown
Gather ‘round, crew, Rusty here with a look at the next 16 days for Dracula. This is a solid, exposed reef break that takes a west-northwest to north-northwest swell, and we’ve got an east-northeast offshore wind direction that’s ideal for it. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no need to dig out the 5/4 just yet.
The overall pattern starts with a bit of a choppy mess, but there’s one real standout session that’s going to make the whole wait worthwhile. The first few days are going to be a letdown. Saturday the 12th has a little pulse of 5ft NNW swell, but with a cross-shore wind and that weak period of 8 seconds, it’s just not going to shape up. By Sunday the 13th, the swell drops right off to 3ft, so you’re looking at small, ordinary waves. Monday the 14th sees a glassy morning with a tiny 2ft groundswell (13-second period), which is pretty but offers just about nothing to ride. Then from Tuesday the 15th through Sunday the 21st, it’s all downhill with strong winds, lumpy chop, and lots of “poor surf conditions” in the forecast. The swell energy is weak to moderate, mostly in the 100 to 200 range.
But hang in there. The true standout arrives on Friday the 18th of September. The session to plan for is the Friday morning. We’ve got 5ft of clean NNW groundswell, a 10-second period that’ll wrap nicely into the reef, and the most beautiful glassy conditions you could ask for. The combined swell energy is strong at 584, and the water will be like a mirror. This is the day to drop everything and paddle out. The winds turn against us by afternoon, so get your fix in the morning.
Saturday the 19th morning is also worth a mention, with another glassy session and a decent 5ft swell, but the energy drops to 381, and it won’t have quite the same punch as Friday. After that, the end of the window fades into smaller, glassy but weak waves. Sunday the 22nd sees a big 15-second period swell roll in, but it’s accompanied by a cross-onshore wind that will mess it up. Wednesday the 23rd morning offers another glassy window with a 4ft, 12-second NW swell and moderate energy of 413 – it’ll be clean, but the swell size is borderline for getting excited.
Overall, Dracula is going to be an inconsistent performer this period, with long gaps of rubbish conditions. The true highlight is Friday morning the 18th: 5ft, glassy, and firing. That’s your wave. After that, there’s not much else that’s worth rushing for.

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.
