The Lowdown
Alright, let me break it down for you on what’s happening at Dracula over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a slow start to the week right now with a lot of weak, messy swell and cross-onshore winds – not much to get excited about for a few days.
Things start to turn around on Monday, July 20th. There’s a chance to get a session in the morning with glassy conditions and a small 4ft swell from the NNW. It’s not huge, but it’s rideable. Then Tuesday, July 21st, we get another glassy morning with a slightly better 5ft swell. The afternoons are blown out, so get your paddling done early.
The real standout begins on Wednesday, July 22nd. The swell picks up to 6ft and it’s glassy in the morning – that’s the turning point. The wave energy is building (moderate range), and it’s going to be clean.
The session you absolutely don’t want to miss is Saturday morning, July 25th. Dracula is going to be firing. We’re looking at a solid 7ft swell from the NNW with a 8-second period. The wind is dead calm, making it completely glassy. The combined energy is strong. This is going to be proper, powerful reef waves for the advanced crew only. Be on it early before the onshore wind ruins the afternoon.
Sunday, July 26th morning is another beauty – 7ft swell, glassy, and serious power in the water. Same story: mornings are gold, afternoons get ruined by the wind. As we get to the end of July, the swell holds steady around 7ft, which is big enough to be for experts only, especially as the period stretches to 9 seconds. The mornings with light SSE winds are clean, but the afternoons stay messy.
Water temps are about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. It’s a consistent, advanced reef, and you can expect some company out there. The good windows are all in the mornings.

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.
