The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Dracula, but it’s a tale of two halves. The first few days are messy with strong cross-shore winds, but by Friday morning the 7th of August, things start to clean up nicely. The real standout morning is Saturday the 8th of August, with glassy conditions and a solid 7ft swell from the NNW. That’s the pick of the lot. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The early part of the week, Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th, is a write-off. You’ve got 6ft to 8ft of NNW swell but the wind is howling from the NNW at 19 mph in the afternoons, just turning it into a lumpy mess. The morning sessions are a bit better with lighter cross breezes, but the wave quality is still marginal. The combined energy is moderate, around 465 to 535, but it’s not doing you any favours with the wind.
Then comes Friday morning the 7th. The wind drops to a glassy 3 mph from the SSE, and the swell holds at 7ft from the NNW with an 8-second period. The energy is solid at 630 and the conditions are glassy. That’s the first real session to get excited about. The afternoon gets wrecked again by a NNW wind, but the morning is gold.
Saturday the 8th of August is the best of the entire forecast. Morning glass again, 3 mph from the north, and the swell is a clean 7ft from the NNW, period 8 seconds, energy at 600. It’s going to be a beautiful, clean morning. The afternoon is a write-off again with 19 mph cross-shore wind, so get out early.
Sunday the 9th is still workable in the morning with a light cross-offshore breeze and 6ft swell, but it’s not as clean as the previous two days. The energy is dropping to 376. Monday the 10th has a nice glassy start with 5ft swell, but it’s small.
From Tuesday the 11th through to the 20th, the swell drops off and the afternoons are consistently ruined by strong NNW winds. The mornings do offer a few windows, like Thursday the 13th with a dead calm 5ft swell, and Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th with glassy conditions and 4ft to 4ft waves. But these are small, beginner-friendly waves, not the punchy stuff we had early on. The energy is weak, in the 200s.
Overall, the standout is Saturday morning, 8th of August. Clean, solid, and glassy. Friday the 7th is a close second. After that, it’s mostly small and clean windows in the mornings, but nothing to get too excited about.

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.
