Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer.
Alright, the long-range picture for Dracula is a bit of a mixed bag. We've got a pulse of energy coming in early, but the winds are going to be fighting us for most of the run. The water’s running a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 66°, so you’ll want a good 4/3.
The first real shot at something decent is Thursday afternoon, July 2nd. We’ve got a 6ft swell pushing in from the NNW, with a solid 455 (moderate energy) behind it. But it’s a cross-on mess with a 12 mph NW wind, so it’ll be choppy and poor. It’s a write-off for a paddle.
Hold on for Friday morning, July 3rd. That’s your standout window. The swell drops a touch to 5ft from the NNW, but the wind goes glassy out of the NE at just 3 mph. The 9-second period isn't a groundswell, but with conditions that clean, the waves will have some shape. This is the time to be out.
The rest of the first week is a struggle. The swell fades and the wind stays mostly cross or cross-on, keeping things bumpy. Saturday and Sunday see the energy drop right off the table. We then hit a major gap from Sunday afternoon, July 5th, all the way through to Monday morning, July 13th. That's over a full week of poor to marginal conditions, with the combined swell energy barely cracking 100 most days. The swell eventually rebuilds on the 13th, with a 4ft, 7-second pulse from the NNW and glassy conditions again for the morning session (220 combined energy). That’s another decent window, though the period is short and it doesn't last.
For a reef break like this, the longer-period stuff would be gold, but it's not showing up here. What we do have are those two clean, glassy mornings—Friday the 3rd and Monday the 13th—where the lack of wind will make the most of what swell we've got. Focus on those.
Stay tuned, 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.
