The Lowdown
Right then, let’s take a look at what’s on offer for Dracula.
This is a real tale of two halves. We’ve got a solid stretch of runty, onshore-slapped swell for the first week and a bit, and then a real spark of hope right at the end of the forecast. The water temperature is sitting at 71°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days are a write-off, honestly. Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd are mostly junk with light cross-onshore winds and weak, messy swell. The energy is low, barely getting into triple digits (257 and 295), and the period is short. Not worth paddling out for.
Monday the 24th morning shows a bit of a pulse. The swell climbs to 5ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds, giving a moderate energy reading of 647. The wind is light cross-shore, so it’s not completely blown out, but it’s still described as marginal. The afternoon gets chopped to pieces again.
Tuesday the 25th through to the end of the month is a grim loop of the same story: small to moderate swell, but it’s almost always cross-on or cross-shore with moderate to fresh breezes. The energy figures bob around between 119 and 915, but the quality just isn’t there. Thursday the 28th morning sees the swell jump to 7ft from the NNW, but with a period of just 8 seconds and a fresh cross-shore wind, it’s going to be lumpy and hard work. That’s expert territory due to the size and chop, but it’s not going to be any fun.
Then, right at the death, we get a little window of hope. On Tuesday the 1st of September, the morning is looking glassy. The wind drops to zero, the swell is a clean 7ft from the NNW, and the energy is pumping at 527. This is the standout. That’s a clean, powerful reef break for advanced surfers only at that size, and with no wind, it’ll be absolutely perfect. The crowds are listed as ‘sometimes’, so you might have a few others with the same idea, but for a moment like that, it’s worth it.
Thursday the 3rd of September morning also looks promising, with a glassy 5ft swell from the NNW, and Saturday the 5th of September morning has a glassy 4ft from the NNW with a 9-second period – that’ll be a fun, clean wave for a wider range of surfers.
So, to put it simply: it’s a long, frustrating wait for the good stuff. Tuesday the 1st of September morning is the clear winner. Don’t bother with the rest.

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.
