The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's get into what's cooking for the next couple of weeks.
First off, the bad news: the first two weeks are pretty much a bust. From Monday the 7th right through the weekend of the 19th, we're looking at a long stretch of flat, weak, or messy conditions. The swell is tiny, the energy is basically non-existent, and the wind is often in the wrong direction. A few mornings look clean, but with no waves, it's just a pretty, flat ocean. It's a real test of patience.
Then, finally, a light at the end of the tunnel. The standout window is Monday the 21st of September. The morning at Fuengirola is the one to aim for. A pulse of east swell is showing at 5 feet, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 478, which is a solid kick. The wind will be offshore from the west at 9 mph, which is ideal for keeping things clean. This is by far the best session on offer.
A word of caution: that 5-foot swell is getting into the size range that's more for the experienced crew, and a beach break like Fuengirola can get a bit steep with that short period. The afternoon sees the wind shift, and the quality drops. The water is sitting at about 72°, which is about average for this time of year.
So, circle the morning of the 21st. It's not a classic, but after two weeks of nothing, it's a welcome sight. The surf drops off again quickly after that. That's the story.
Rusty.

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.
