The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the imperial take.
We’ve got a solid run of swell lining up for Dracula, but the wind is gonna be the gatekeeper. You gotta pick your battles.
Tuesday morning, the 25th of August, is a no-go. There’s a clean 5ft swell from the NNW, but that light cross breeze just chops it up. The combined energy is moderate (378), so there’s push, but it’s messy. Afternoon turns into a total windblown mess with 16 mph cross-on wind. Stay home.
Wednesday the 26th stays small and ugly. Not worth a paddle.
Thursday the 27th is a total dud. Morning is tiny at 1ft with weak energy (41), and the afternoon gets blown out by a fresh 22 mph breeze. Forget it.
Now, here’s the good stuff. Friday morning, the 28th of August, is a standout. Glassy as a mirror, 6ft of NNW swell, and solid moderate energy (401). That’s clean, punchy, and prime for a dawn patrol. The afternoon gets hammered, so be off the water by lunch.
Saturday the 29th has size – 7ft in the morning with a nice long 11-second period – but that cross wind keeps it from being perfect. The energy is strong (909), so it’s got power, but it’s lumpy. Still, for the keen, there’s a wave.
Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are mixed. Monday morning, the 31st, sees another glassy window with 5ft of swell and moderate energy (261). Clean, but not a standout.
Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, is another genuine standout. Glassy, 7ft of NNW swell, and moderate-strong energy (455). That’s a proper session. The water temp is 69°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises.
Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd have clean windows, but the wind is a little more on it. Thursday morning, the 3rd, is glassy with 6ft (414 energy), so that’s a solid option.
Friday the 4th is a wash, and Saturday the 5th has another glassy morning with 5ft (304 energy). It’s there, but nothing special.
The real long-range gem is Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the NW, but look at the period: 12 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and with zero wind and glassy conditions, the energy is strong (694). Dracula is a reef, so that long period will wrap in beautifully. That’s a session to circle on the calendar, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it.
Wednesday morning, the 9th of September, is also glassy with 6ft of NNW swell (549 energy). Another very good option to close out the run.
Overall, the best waves are Friday the 28th morning, Tuesday the 1st morning, and that long-range Tuesday the 8th morning. Crowds are possible at Dracula, so don’t expect to have it all to yourself.
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.
