Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what the Costa del Sol has cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, starting this Sunday morning, July 5th. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 87°F, which is pretty nice. It’s not gonna be huge, but the consistency is there, and those clean conditions are what we’re after.
Sunday morning is the real standout early on. We’re looking at a clean 3ft of SSW swell with a period of 18 seconds, which is proper groundswell energy (739). With glassy conditions from a light NNE wind, it’s going to be smooth and inviting for beginners. This is a great time to get out there, just be aware it can get busy sometimes.
The action builds into Monday and Tuesday. Monday afternoon sees the swell push to 4ft with glassy conditions and a very strong combined energy (1293) – that’s excellent for experienced surfers. Tuesday morning is even better: 4ft of clean SSW swell, 18-second period, and a combined energy of 1475. Light offshore NE winds will keep it tidy. This is the pick of the week for anyone with a bit of experience.
After that, the energy drops off a little, but there’s still fun surf through the middle of the month. Mornings with light offshore winds will be the go, especially Thursday the 9th and Saturday the 11th with clean 4ft and 4ft SSW swells. The afternoons get a bit average with onshore breezes, so plan for early sessions.
The second week sees smaller, cleaner waves in the mornings. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th have clean 2ft to 3ft SSW swells, with moderate energy. Nothing mind-blowing, but it's a good time for a longboard or a learner session. There's a bit of a lull mid-week, but by Friday the 17th we get a nice little pulse with glassy 4ft SSW swell and a period of 14 seconds (610 energy). That’s a nice way to finish the run.
All in, the Costa del Sol has a consistent window of fun, mostly clean surf. The absolute best is Tuesday the 7th. Get in the water early.
Rusty.

Information about the Costa del Sol Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Costa del Sol provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Costa del Sol can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Costa del Sol 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 (Costa del Sol) 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 Costa del Sol 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.
