The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the 16-day window for Fuengirola is a tough one. We’ve got a real dry spell to kick things off. From Tuesday 21st July right through to the morning of Monday 27th July, there’s basically nothing to ride. That’s a solid six-day gap with no surf on offer. The ocean is flat, or just has messy, unrideable bumps. You’d be better off finding a pool.
Things finally start to whisper on the morning of Monday 27th July. A tiny pulse of 1ft from the ESE creeps in, but it’s short period at 5 seconds and the combined energy is weak (8). It’s really just a tease. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s clean, but there’s no power to push you.
The real window, if you can call it that, opens up on Tuesday 28th July. The morning shows 3ft from the east with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to a moderate 52. The wind is a light cross-offshore, which will keep the face clean. Come Tuesday afternoon, it nudges up to 3ft, still from the east, with a period of 7 seconds and energy at 79. It’s not exciting, but it’s surfable. This is as good as it gets.
For a beginner spot like Fuengirola, which is fairly consistent and exposed to the swell, this is about catching small, clean waves. The water temperature is sitting at 72°, which is bang on average for the time of year, so no need for a thick suit.
The morning of Wednesday 29th July offers another clean session with 2ft from the east and glassy conditions. The energy drops back to 41, but the lack of wind makes it a good option for a longboard or a foiler.
After that, it’s a slow fade. The swell drops away to nothing by the end of the month and into early August. There’s a tiny spike of 1ft on the morning of Tuesday 4th August, but it’s coming from the wrong direction with onshore wind, making it messy.
Overall, the standout is the Tuesday 28th July. The combo of the biggest swell of the window (3ft from the east), a clean cross-offshore wind, and the fact it’s the most consistent day makes it the pick. The crowds are listed as "sometimes" here, so you might have a few others out, but it won’t be a zoo. Keep your expectations low and you’ll find a few fun ones.

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.
