The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m breaking down the next couple of weeks at Dracula. This is a consistent reef break that loves a west swell. Water temp is right around 70°, which is normal for the season.
The first few days are a wash. Saturday the 18th into Sunday the 19th is no good. You’re looking at 7ft to 7ft of short-period, cross-shore windswell, and the wind is making a mess of it. The combined energy is moderate (361 to 447), but the surface is lumpy and choppy. Leave the board in the car.
Monday the 20th morning is the first real chance. The swell drops to 7ft, but the wind goes glassy from the north at 3 mph. That’s clean. The period is still short at 8 seconds, but the energy is moderate (450). It’s the best of the first week, but the afternoon goes back to junk.
From Tuesday the 21st through Thursday the 23rd, it’s all marginal. The wind is cross or cross-onshore, and the swell sits between 5ft and 7ft. The energy is moderate (285 to 401), but it’s not clean. Friday the 24th morning gets another glassy moment with 6ft, but it’s not a standout.
Now for the real juice. Sunday the 26th morning is glassy and calm with 7ft of swell, and the energy is pushing 523. It’s clean, but it’s not the biggest.
The top pick is Monday the 27th morning. That’s 8ft from the NNW, period still 8 seconds, but the energy is strong at 1113. The wind is glassy from the west at 3 mph. This is for experienced surfers only – that’s a serious, powerful wave on a reef.
Tuesday the 28th morning is another big one. 8ft, clean cross-offshore wind from the SSE, and the energy is 1205. Expert territory again. The swell direction is perfect for the reef.
There’s a bit of a lull mid-week, but Sunday the 2nd of August morning is a beast. 8ft, clean cross-offshore wind, and the energy is 1120. That’s a quality session for the crew who can handle it.
So, the first week is mostly a struggle with a few clean windows. The second week is where the power is. The absolute best is Monday the 27th morning, with Tuesday the 28th morning right behind it. Those are your days. Dracula will be stacking up.

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.
