The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Dracula.
The next 16 days start with a bit of a wait. The first proper surf shows Tuesday morning the 1st of September, but it’s a bit of a messy start. That morning, swell is 6 ft from the NNW with only an 8-second period, which is short-period windswell, and the combined energy sits at 480 (moderate). The wind is a light cross breeze, so it's not completely blown out, but the conditions are marginal. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Things improve dramatically by Tuesday afternoon. The swell holds at 7 ft from the NNW, and the wind goes glassy – I mean, absolutely dead calm. That is a major positive. Clean, smooth conditions. The combined energy climbs to 653 (moderate to strong). This is the only real standout in the whole forecast. If you can get out Tuesday afternoon, the waves will be clean, with that NW swell wrapping in nicely over the reef. Dracula is an exposed, very consistent spot, and it’s a reef break, so that short-period swell will still offer some shape. Crowds are possible but not guaranteed.
Wednesday morning the 2nd still looks good: 7 ft from the NNW, light cross-offshore breeze, combined energy 636 (moderate to strong). Clean again, and the wind is off the land – another top session. But the afternoon goes to onshore on Wednesday, so the good stuff is definitely in the early sessions.
From Thursday the 3rd onward, things start to drop. Swell sizes come down and the wind gets messy. Thursday morning is 5 ft with a cross breeze, energy down to 251 (weak to moderate). Thursday afternoon the wind picks up to a moderate cross-on from the NNW at 12 mph, making for choppy, poor conditions. That trend continues through the end of the first week and into the second. There’s a gap of several days where the surf is just not worth talking about – poor conditions, lumpy, onshore winds, and dropping energy.
By the start of the second week, around Wednesday the 9th, we see a bump back up to 6 ft from the NNW on the morning, with light cross-on wind and combined energy of 555 (moderate). The morning is messy but surfable. The afternoon gets trashed by a fresh 19 mph cross breeze, so no go there. Thursday the 10th morning has a similar bump: 7 ft, light cross, energy 665 (moderate to strong), but the wind is cross-shore. It’s a marginal session.
After that, it’s a slow decline. Sizes drop, period stays short, and winds are consistently onshore or strong cross-shore. There’s one interesting blip right at the end on Wednesday the 16th of September: a 2 ft swell from the WNW with a long 11-second period, glassy conditions, and combined energy of 207 (moderate). That’s a promising little groundswell, but it’s tiny and 16 days out. Worth keeping an eye on, but don’t pin your hopes on it yet.
Overall, the one and only real standout is Tuesday afternoon the 1st of September. Get on it. After that, it’s a lot of waiting and hoping.
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.
