The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Dracula has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
The outlook starts with a bit of a rough patch. Right now, the conditions are pretty ordinary with a messy cross-shore wind and lumpy 7ft swell making for poor surf. That carries on through Thursday with stronger winds and similar sized, short-period swell. It’s not looking great for a paddle.
But then, Friday morning on the 11th of September, we get a break in the weather. The wind goes glassy, and the swell drops to a clean 6ft from the NNW. The water temp is sitting at 71°, which is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit. This is a solid little window for a session. Saturday morning follows up with more glassy conditions and a similar 6ft swell, offering another clean option before the wind turns onshore later in the day.
The real standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is the following week. On Monday the 21st of September, the morning is looking special. It's glassy, the swell is a clean 3ft from the NNW, but the period is a very long 17 seconds. That’s groundswell energy, and it’s going to be producing some beautiful, lined-up waves. The combined energy is a solid 892 (moderate), but with that period, the shape will be top-notch. Just remember, that long period stuff can be a bit straight at a beach break, but for a reef like Dracula, it’s going to be excellent. The 22nd of September morning also looks very good with a clean cross-offshore wind and a 5ft, 13-second swell from the NNW.
A few weeks out, on the 23rd, the morning looks glassy again with a 4ft, 11-second swell, which is a fine, clean option. After that, the swell starts to fade towards the end of the forecast window, with smaller, shorter-period waves on the 24th. Overall, the first week is a bit of a write-off, but the second week, especially the 21st and 22nd, are the ones to go for.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
