During these months, ground swell dominates (69-93% of the time), providing powerful and well-organized waves, with mean swell sizes ranging from 1.3m to 1.5m. The winter months (December-February) are particularly reliable, with ground swell frequencies above 88% and the highest probability of good wind conditions (47-53%). October and November also offer strong ground swell influence (69-77%) and improving wind conditions (47-50% favorable). From April onwards, the swell quality declines as wind swell becomes more prevalent, peaking in summer (June-August) when ground swell drops significantly (9-21%). Wind conditions also worsen in spring and summer, with bad winds occurring 60-73% of the time. September marks a transition month, with ground swell starting to pick up again (46%) but still mixed with wind swell. Overall, advanced surfers will find the winter months ideal for consistent, clean waves, while summer offers smaller, less predictable conditions suited for beginners or those willing to compromise on swell quality. The spot is rarely flat, with no-swell days below 4% year-round.

November at Dracula’s delivers consistent surf with an average swell height of 1.3m and a solid 12.2s period, providing well-organized, powerful waves. The dominant swell directions are WNW and NW, contributing over 60% of the waves in the 0.5-2.5m range, with 1-1.5m and 1.5-2m waves being particularly frequent—ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. Larger sets (2-2.5m+) occur but are less common, offering occasional challenge. Wind conditions are favorable 50% of the time, primarily light to moderate (0-20kph) from NNE to E, which often sideshore or offshore at this break, grooming the waves. Stronger winds (>20kph) from N/NNW can create chop but are less frequent. Overall, November provides reliable surf with good shape and rideable conditions, especially when winds align.
