The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what Dracula’s got cooking.
First few days are a total wash. Sunday the 23rd has a little 4ft wave from the NNW but the wind is cross-on and the energy is weak. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are messy with choppy wind and short-period stuff. Nothing worth paddling out for.
Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are junk – small, short-period, lumpy. No good.
Friday morning the 28th of August is where we get some life. 7ft from the NNW, 8-second period, and a light cross-off breeze. It’s clean! The energy is solid at 509. This is a real chance for some good waves. It’s an advanced reef break that breaks very consistently, and crowds are sometimes here. Water temp is around 72°F – about average.
Saturday morning the 29th of August is the real standout. 8ft from the NNW, 9-second period, and the wind is glassy. Glassy! That’s about as good as it gets. Energy is 819. This is big, expert-level surf. Beginners stay on the beach. This is the day to clear your schedule.
Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st mornings still have some clean 6ft to 6ft waves, but the wind is not as perfect. Monday afternoon gets wrecked by a 22 mph cross wind.
Tuesday the 1st of September morning has a glassy 6ft swell – a nice backup. Thursday the 3rd morning is clean with 5ft – good for a smaller day.
From Friday the 4th onward, it fades fast. Swell drops to 3ft or less with short periods and weak energy. The second week is flat and poor.
The best is Saturday the 29th of August morning – glassy, solid 8ft, and powerful. Friday the 28th morning is a close second for clean but slightly smaller surf.
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.
