Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dracula over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here.
Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you. For the next week and a half, Dracula is mostly a write-off. The wind is all over the shop, almost always cross-on or cross-shore and often strong, which just kills any chance of a proper clean wave. The swell is there, but it’s messy and short period. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions from Sunday the 12th right through until Friday the 17th of July. There are a few mornings where it’s *almost* there, but the wind ruins it.
Then we get a window.
Saturday the 18th of July is your standout. That morning, the wind goes glassy with a light westerly, and the swell is a solid 6ft of NNW groundswell. The combined energy is moderate at 371, and the period is 8 seconds, so it’s got a bit of push. The break is a reef, so it’ll handle that energy well. The water is 69°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The setup is exposed, and the optimum swell direction is west, so the NNW swell is a great match. It’s a serious wave – 6ft on a reef for experts only – but if you’re up for it, that’s the one. Expect crowds at times, as it’s a well-known spot.
The next real chance comes on Tuesday the 21st of July. Morning session with a clean cross-off wind from the NE, and a 5ft NNW swell, period 9 seconds. The energy is 375, moderate. It’s a good option, but not as punchy as the Saturday.
Then we get another run of clean mornings on Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th of July. The swell drops to 5ft and 5ft, still with a NNW direction and 9-10 second period. The wind is cross-off in the mornings, mostly NNE, which keeps it clean. Combined energy is moderate, around 307 to 419. These are good, solid, expert-level waves, but the afternoon winds get absolutely nasty – 25 mph cross-shore, so get in early.
So, the short story: Dracula is a tough wave for the first week. The best on offer is the glassy morning of Saturday the 18th of July, with a solid 6ft swell. After that, Tuesday the 21st, and then Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th of July all have clean morning windows, but the wind turns on you by lunch.
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.
