The Lowdown
Alright, let's get straight into it. The surf around Fuengirola for the next week and a half is going to be a real test of patience. The first record kicks off with nothing – zero swell, zero energy, and it stays that way for a long time. The wind is often good, offshore and glassy, but it's a waste without any waves. We're looking at a solid stretch of flatness, with the occasional tiny ankle-slasher at 0.1-0.2m, but these have no power behind them. The swell energy is basically a non-event, with combined energy values in the single digits. The water is running a touch warm, about 1° above normal, but that's about the only notable thing.
This dead spell runs right through to the end of the third week. The ocean is just going to be flat and calm.
Finally, on the morning of the 24th of August, we see a small pulse of life. A 1.0m wave from the ESE with a 6-second period, and the energy jumps to 80. It's not big, but it's the first real surf we've seen. The morning looks best with a light offshore wind keeping it glassy, which is a major positive. The afternoon turns a bit more cross-off, but it should stay clean. This is the only window worth considering in the whole 16-day forecast. It's fun-sized, clean, and a good option for the beginners. Just don't expect any barrels.
So, there you have it. A long, flat spell with one small, clean window at the very end. It's not much, but it's all we've got.

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.
