The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Dracula over the next couple of weeks.

First off, the water’s sitting at a warm 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest rubber.

The overall pattern is messy. We’ve got a solid amount of swell running for most of the 16-day window, but the wind is the real story here. It’s mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore from the NNW, and that’s gonna keep things lumpy and chopped up for long stretches. There’s moderate wave energy (402) kicking off the period, but don’t get excited – the quality just isn’t there.

For the first week, it’s a real struggle. Tuesday afternoon (4th August) through to the end of the first weekend is mostly a write-off. The wind is fresh or moderate, blowing cross-shore, and the surf is poor. The combined energy builds through the week, hitting 809 (moderate) on Thursday afternoon, but the cross-chop is nasty. The only real window of hope pops up on Friday morning, August 7th. The wind goes glassy, coming from the SSE, and we’ve got a 8 ft swell from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is strong at 703. That’s the standout of the first week – clean, glassy conditions at Dracula, which is a reef break that’s very consistent and exposed. This is for advanced surfers only at that size with a short period, but it’ll be a proper session. Crowds are possible though.

Saturday morning (August 8th) also looks clean with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 7 ft NNW swell, but the energy is a bit lower at 520. Look for that window.

The middle of the week goes back to poor conditions with cross-shore winds and lumpy surf. The swell drops a bit, with energy falling to the 300 range (weak). It’s a slow grind until the following weekend.

The real standout of the entire period is Wednesday morning, August 19th. The wind goes glassy again from the SSW, and we’ve got a solid 8 ft NNW swell with 613 units of energy. Conditions are expected to be very good. This is a deep long-range call, so it’s less certain, but if it lines up, it’ll be the best session of the whole run. The afternoon gets wrecked by a cross-onshore breeze, so make sure you’re on it early.

Before that, there’s a bit of a tease on Monday morning, August 17th – glassy conditions with a smaller 5 ft NNW swell and 244 energy. It’s a good option for a clean, smaller wave, but it’s not the big one.

Overall, the crowds are possible at Dracula when it’s good, and it’s a very consistent, exposed reef that handles the swell well. Don’t waste your time on the afternoons – the wind ruins it. Stick to the early mornings, especially that Friday the 7th, Saturday the 8th, and the big call for Wednesday the 19th.

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.
