Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dracula over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Dracula over the next couple of weeks. It’s a reef break, exposed and handling a west swell nicely when the conditions line up.
Right now, we’re in a bit of a slow patch. The first proper stand-out window kicks off on Monday, July 13, with a glassy morning. The swell is a clean 4ft from the northwest, period around 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a moderate 235. That’s a solid, surfable morning with clean conditions. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.
Monday afternoon, though, the wind swings around and it gets cross-onshore and choppy – not worth paddling out for.
Tuesday and Wednesday are pretty ordinary, with small, weak swells and cross or onshore winds. Not much to get excited about.
Thursday, July 16, the swell bumps up to 6ft from the NNW, but the period stays short at 7 seconds and the wind is still cross. The combined energy climbs to 345 (moderate), but the conditions are only marginal in the morning and poor in the afternoon. Hard to recommend.
Friday, July 17, sees a similar story – 7ft swell in the morning, 552 combined energy (moderate-strong), but it’s cross-onshore and only a “marginal” call. Afternoon gets messy again.
Now, Saturday, July 18, is a real beacon. The morning is absolutely glassy – wind from the south at 3 mph, dead calm. The swell is 6ft from the NNW with an 8-second period, combined energy 396 (moderate). This is the best on offer this week. That glassy surface on a reef break with a decent northwest swell? That’s the kind of morning you set the alarm for. Just be aware, crowds are possible here.
Sunday, July 19, also starts glassy, with a 5ft NNW swell, but the energy drops to 231. Still a good morning session. Afternoons on both days get wrecked by the afternoon NNW breeze.
The following week offers a few more windows. Monday, July 27, and Tuesday, July 28, both have glassy mornings. Monday has a 5ft swell from the NNW (energy 275), and Tuesday bumps up to 6ft from the same direction with a stronger 432 combined energy. These are promising, especially Tuesday morning with that clean, calm surface and moderate-strong energy. It’s a long-range call, so less certain, but worth keeping an eye on.
Between these good mornings, the afternoons are nearly all blown out by strong to fresh cross-shore winds, and many mornings in-between are light cross-shore or onshore, keeping the surf ordinary.
So, to sum it up: the real stand-out is the morning of Saturday, July 18 – glassy, decent size, clean reef. Sunday morning, July 19, is also a good shout. In the second week, the morning of Tuesday, July 28 looks the pick, but further out. Otherwise, it’s a lot of waiting for those afternoon winds to drop.
Stay stoked, catch you in the water.
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.
