The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the Dracula forecast in feet and knots.
We've got a bit of a slow start, but don't write it off. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, with poor conditions and messy wind. It's a bit of a tease, but the wait is worth it.
The real story starts to build on the morning of Wednesday the 30th of July. The wind goes glassy, there's a 5ft swell from the NNW, and the wave energy is a solid moderate (261). It's not huge, but it'll be clean. That's the first real window of opportunity.
The morning of Sunday the 2nd of August looks promising again, with a glassy 5ft swell from the NNW showing moderate energy (232). It's a good chance for a clean session.
Then we get to the standout. The morning of Thursday the 6th of August is the one to circle on the calendar. The wind is glassy from the E, and we're looking at a 7ft swell from the NNW with strong wave energy (651). This is the best combination of size and clean conditions on offer. It's a little too big for beginners, but for the rest of you, it's going to be special.
The morning of Friday the 7th of August is also a solid bet, with glassy ENE wind and a 7ft NNW swell (529). More of the same goodness.
Looking further out, the mornings of Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th of August are holding that glassy promise again, with 7ft and 8ft swells respectively. The energy is strong (546 and 876), so it's a promising long-range call, but not as certain as the earlier window. The 10ft on the Tuesday afternoon is for the experts only, and the wind will be messy.
The water temperature is sitting at 70°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year.

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.
