The Lowdown
Alright, it’s a bit of a waiting game here. The first couple of days are a write-off, but once we get into the first weekend, the pieces start to fall into place. The real standout is the morning of Saturday the 8th, and there’s a sneaky good one on the morning of Saturday the 15th too.
Right now, Saturday morning the 1st is clean but the swell is tiny and weak, with combined energy of just 117. Not worth paddling out for. It gets worse through the weekend as the wind picks up.
The first real flash of hope comes Monday morning the 3rd. Swell bumps to 5ft from the NNW, period a short 7 seconds, but the wind is light and cross-shore. Not perfect, but it’s surfable. The energy is moderate at 218. It’s a bit of a tease though, because the arvos turn messy.
The best window of the whole run lands on the morning of Saturday the 8th. Glassy conditions, 6ft swell from the NNW, period 7 seconds, and combined energy of 393. That's moderate energy, but with no wind, the face will be clean and smooth. This is the one to circle. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
Sunday morning the 9th is also worth a mention. Glassy again, with 4ft swell from the NNW, period 7 seconds. The energy drops to 353, but it’s still a clean, fun-sized morning session.
Then Tuesday the 11th morning offers another clean window: 6ft swell, NNW, combined energy 326, and glassy wind. Good for a paddle.
The other real standout is the morning of Saturday the 15th. That’s a week later. Glassy conditions, 5ft swell from the NNW, period 8 seconds, and combined energy of 220. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and user-friendly. A solid Saturday morning option.
Further out, the morning of Sunday the 16th shows 6ft swell and glassy wind with combined energy of 409, which is promising, but it’s long-range, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, the best on offer is the morning of Saturday the 8th – clean, glassy, moderate energy, and a decent 6ft swell. The morning of Saturday the 15th is a close second if you want a cleaner, smaller wave.

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.
