The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks on our local shores.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and sad. We’ve got a long, drawn-out gap with nothing worth paddling out for. From now all the way through to the 19th of September, it’s mostly tiny, weak, and onshore slop. The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 71°F, nothing unusual there for this time of year.
The first real sign of life pops up on the morning of Saturday the 20th of September. We’ve got a pulse of swell building to 6ft from the east, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (588). It’s clean early with light winds, but the wind swings onshore from the ESE later. This is really for the experienced crew only, as it’s pushing into expert territory size-wise. Fuengirola (Fuengirola) will be the spot, but with the wind straight on it, the quality will be a real battle. Crowds can be around here on a weekend, so expect company.
There’s a brief lull again, but the real standout window opens up on Friday the 25th of September. The morning brings a clean 3ft swell from the ESE, period stretching to 6 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore, leaving the surface glassy. The energy is weak (56), so it won’t be a monster, but it’s surfable. The afternoon session on the same day is the true gem of this whole forecast. We get glassy conditions with a light southerly breeze, and that 3ft from the ESE is still hanging in there. It’s the most user-friendly size, clean as a whistle, and just a nice, ordinary little wave. This is the one to circle on your calendar if you want a relaxed, fun session at Fuengirola.
Beyond that, it fades back into tiny, choppy, or flat conditions through the end of the month.
So, to sum it up: a long dry spell, then a big but onshore bump on the 20th for experts only, and a clean, fun little morning and afternoon window on the 25th that’s the best bet for everyone else.
Stay frothy.

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