The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on Dracula. This is a reef break, advanced only, and it fires on a west swell. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.
The run starts on Tuesday, July 21st, with a clean, glassy morning. We’re looking at 6ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is dead calm, so it’s going to be smooth. The combined energy is moderate, at 349. The afternoon is a mess with a 30 km/h cross-shore wind, so hit it early.
Wednesday morning, July 22nd, is the top pick. Dead calm, glassy, with a clean 5ft NNW swell. The period is 7 seconds, and the energy is 294. This is going to be a beautiful, clean morning on the reef. The afternoon is trashed again.
Thursday, July 23rd, and Friday, July 24th, follow the same pattern – glassy mornings with 6ft to 6ft NNW swell, light winds, and clean conditions. The energy is moderate, peaking at 397 on Friday morning. These are your windows. Afternoons are blown out.
Saturday, July 25th, the swell builds to 8ft in the morning and 10ft in the afternoon. That’s expert-only territory, over 8ft. The wind is cross-shore, and the energy jumps to 744 in the morning and a very strong 1676 in the afternoon. It’s powerful but lumpy.
Sunday, July 26th, is still big with a 8ft to 8ft NNW swell, but the wind is cross-shore. The morning is marginal, and the afternoon is a mess.
Monday, July 27th, is another standout. The morning is glassy, calm, with a 7ft NNW swell. The energy is 612, and it’s a powerful groundswell with an 8-second period. That’s a proper, clean, big wave day for experts. The afternoon gets a cross-onshore wind, so the morning is the only time.
From there, it’s a pattern of glassy mornings and windy afternoons through the end of July and into early August. The mornings on July 30th, August 1st, and August 2nd all offer clean, glassy conditions with 6ft to 6ft NNW swell. The energy is moderate, between 346 and 408. It’s consistent, but the afternoons are always a blowout.
The best of the best is the glassy morning on Wednesday, July 22nd, and the big, clean morning on Monday, July 27th. The near-term mornings are solid; the later ones are a bit more of a long shot but still look good. If you’re advanced, get on it.
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.
