The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here.
We’re looking at a mixed run for Dracula. This is a heavy reef, experts only, and it’s a very consistent spot. Water temp is 71°, which is dead average for this time of year.
The first few days are a total bust. Wednesday and Thursday are cross-shore winds with lumpy, messy conditions. The swell is there, running 5 to 8 ft, but it’s short-period, choppy windswell, with moderate to strong energy. Not worth the paddle.
Friday, September 11th morning is the real deal. Glassy conditions, a clean 6 ft of swell from the NNW, period of 8 seconds. The wind is dead still. The energy is moderate (359), but with zero wind, the reef will be clean and lined up. This is the best session of the whole outlook.
Saturday, September 12th morning is another beauty. Same glassy conditions, 6 ft of NNW swell, 8-second period, and the energy is a bit stronger at 435. The offshore wind (SE) is going to groom it perfectly. Get in the water early.
After those two mornings, it drops off. Sunday has a smaller 4 ft swell and clean conditions, but it’s pretty ordinary. The rest of the week is cross-shore and onshore winds, with the swell fading.
Monday, September 14th afternoon has a weird little spike: a 2 ft swell from the NW, but with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, but it’s tiny and the wind is onshore. A tease.
Tuesday, September 15th morning is another glassy moment, but the swell is only 3 ft with a long 11-second period. Clean but small.
The second week is a slow fade. Swell drops to under 2 ft, and the period gets long again on the 23rd and 24th, but the heights are 2 ft or less. The energy is weak. Nothing to get excited about.
So, for the advanced crew, the clear standouts are Friday morning, September 11th and Saturday morning, September 12th. Those are your windows for clean, glassy, punchy waves. After that, it’s a waiting game.
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.
