The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for us at Dracula.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are a write-off. Monday afternoon through Thursday are all showing poor conditions with messy, choppy wind and weak swell. Not worth paddling out.

Wednesday morning is the first real glimmer of hope. The wind swings cross-offshore, cleaning things up, but the swell is small at only 3ft from the NNW. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The combined energy is a weak 95, so you’ll be working for every wave. It's a small window, but it's clean.

The Saturday morning after that is a bit of a tease. The swell picks up to 6ft from the NNW, with a light cross-shore wind that leaves a little cross-chop. The energy is ramping up to a moderate 382, but the conditions are still marginal. Not the one.

Now, if you’ve got patience, the real standout window opens on Sunday, August 23rd. The morning is pure gold – glassy conditions, not a breath of wind, with a clean 4ft swell from the NNW. The energy is a moderate 259, and for the first time, the forecast says "expect good surf conditions." This is the one to circle.

And it gets better. Monday morning, August 24th, looks like the pick of the entire forecast. We’re looking at glassy conditions again with a solid 7ft swell from the NNW. The combined energy jumps to a strong 547, and the forecast is calling for "very good surf conditions." That’s a big call, and it's the best we're going to see. That 7ft is in the sweet spot for advanced surfers – it's got push but it's not out of control. Just be aware this is a reef break, so it’s for the experienced crew, and it can get a little busy as it's sometimes crowded.

Looking further out, the pattern holds with more glassy mornings. Tuesday the 25th, Wednesday the 26th, and Thursday the 27th all have promising morning windows with 5ft to 6ft NNW swell and glassy conditions. The energy stays in the moderate-to-strong range (254 to 328). These are all solid, clean options, but the Monday the 24th is the standout.

Into the second week, things look more inconsistent. The mornings of the 28th, 29th, and 30th are still offering glassy conditions with a dropping swell from 5ft down to 4ft. The energy drops too, from 270 down to 217. The winds are calm or light, so it'll be clean, but the waves will be smaller and less powerful. The morning of the 31st is the smallest, with just 3ft and a weak energy of 150 – surfable but very ordinary.

Water temp is sitting at 71°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

So, if you're keen, the absolute session to lock in is Monday morning, August 24th – Dracula at its best with clean, powerful waves. The Sunday and Tuesday mornings before and after are solid backups. After that, it's smaller and less consistent, but still worth a look for a dawny if you're desperate.

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.
