The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee while I run through this in feet and miles.
Dracula is the only game in town, and it’s a consistent reef that can handle a good run of swell. Water’s about 69°F, which is dead-on average for the time of year.
The first few days are pretty flat and messy, so you’re not missing much until later.
Wednesday the 2nd starts with a 6ft swell from the NNW but cross-onshore wind makes it a write-off.
Thursday the 3rd is a better bet. Glassy in the morning with a 4ft swell from the NNW, short period but clean. The afternoon turns messy again.
Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are ones to dodge – onshore breezes and chop all day.
Now, Sunday the 6th is a real shift. Glassy again in the morning with a 5ft swell from the NNW. The energy is moderate at 217 and it looks clean. That early window is your go.
Monday the 7th keeps it going. Another glassy morning, 5ft swell, energy jumps to 325. Nice clean lines.
Tuesday the 8th sees the swell jump to 6ft with 491 energy, but a cross-wind spoils the party.
The first big standout is Wednesday morning, the 9th. Swell hits 6ft from the NNW with a clean cross-off breeze and energy at 533. The reef will be firing – this one’s for the experienced crew only.
Thursday the 10th is another good one with a glassy start, 6ft swell, and energy at 371.
Things drop off after that. By Saturday the 12th, the swell is under 3ft, and Sunday the 13th it’s barely 2ft with energy down to 69. We get a three or four day lull.
But looking at the longer-range forecast, there’s a promising run. Monday the 14th shows a 2ft NW swell with a very long period of 15 seconds. The energy is moderate at 231, but the wind is on-shore, so it’s borderline.
Tuesday the 15th morning looks interesting – 4ft from the NW, 12-second period, strong energy of 752, but the wind is side-shore. Keep an eye on the early light.
Then Wednesday the 16th is another true standout. Glassy conditions, 4ft NW swell with a 13-second period and 538 energy. The reef should be absolutely glassy and punchy that morning.
Top marks: the mornings of the 6th, 7th, 9th, and 16th. The 9th and 16th are the absolute picks.
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.
