The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next 16 days for this spot. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some real windows of opportunity for the advanced crew.
We’re starting off a little slow. The first few days are a write-off with messy cross-shore winds and poor conditions. The first real chance to get wet is on Tuesday morning, 21 July, when the wind goes glassy. The swell is a solid 6ft from the NNW, but with a short period of 8 seconds, it’s not going to have the punch of a groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (397). It’s a good start, but nothing to write home about.
Wednesday morning, 22 July, is another glassy session with 6ft from the NNW. Again, short period, but clean. The energy is a bit weaker (334). The real standout, though, is Saturday morning, 25 July. We’ve got a clean, cross-off breeze and a bump in size to 8ft from the NNW. The combined energy jumps to 703 (moderate-strong), and the conditions are described as clean. That’s your first proper look of the week.
But the absolute best on offer is Monday morning, 27 July. Glassy conditions, 8ft from the NNW, and the combined energy is a strong 959. The period is still short at 8 seconds, but for a reef break like Dracula, that’s fine. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. Crowds are possible, so get there early.
After that, things get lumpy and messy again through the end of July and the start of August. There’s a big gap with no real recommendations until Monday morning, 3 August. That session is a cracker: dead calm, glassy, 8ft from the NNW, and combined energy of 951 (strong). It’s the same size as the 27th, but with zero wind, it’s going to be a dream. Keep in mind this is over a week away, so it’s promising but not set in stone.
The afternoon of the 3rd sees the swell jump to 10ft, but that’s with a fresh cross-shore chop and questionable tide – that’s expert territory only, and even then, the wind will mess it up.
Overall, the two standout windows are Saturday morning (25 July) and Monday morning (27 July), with the absolute best being Monday, 27 July, for the glassy conditions and solid energy. The Monday, 3 August session is also a long-range gem, but less certain. For the rest, it’s mostly a waiting game between the morning glass-offs.
Rusty out.

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.
