Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dracula over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The only wave in the game here is Dracula, a heavy reef break for advanced surfers, fully exposed to the west and getting a steady NNW swell. Water temp is about 70°, which is dead average for this time of year.
The first week is mostly a bust. Monday morning, the 27th of July, you’ve got a 5ft swell from the NNW at 8 seconds, with a light cross-off wind from the SSE. The energy is moderate (296), so it’s clean but not a standout. Then it’s a run of poor quality, with onshore and cross-shore winds and choppy surf through the end of July. The swell hangs around 3ft to 5ft, but the period is short (6–7 seconds) and the wind is just ugly. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July have glassy mornings, with the swell at about 5ft, but the energy is still weak to moderate (182–230). You can get a wave, but don’t get your hopes up.
The second week has a big dry spell, then Tuesday the 4th of August brings a solid increase. The morning is glassy, with a 6ft swell from the NNW, period still short at 7 seconds, but the energy jumps to moderate (367). That’s better. The real standout is Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning is clean, with a cross-off from the SSE, a 7ft swell from the NNW, and an 8-second period. The energy is strong (704). That’s the best of the whole forecast. It’s big, it’s clean, and this reef is going to throw out some proper barrels. Only for experts—7ft on a reef is serious.
Thursday the 6th of August is also a cracker if you’re up early. The morning is glassy with a 7ft swell, energy at 608, and the same clean NNW pulse. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th of August have glassy mornings too, with 6ft and 6ft swells, but the energy drops to moderate (378–340). The afternoons get wrecked by strong NNW winds, so you’ll want to be on it before the wind picks up.
The final days, from the 9th to the 11th of August, the swell holds 6ft to 10ft, with energy climbing into the very strong range (754–1633). The period stays short at 7–8 seconds, and the wind is only working in the mornings. The 10th of August morning has a 8ft, 8-second swell with a light cross wind, but it’s marginal. The 11th of August morning is similar with a 8ft swell, but the energy is very strong (1026). These are big, powerful, and lumpy waves. This is not a spot for the faint of heart.

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.
