The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s gonna be a quiet stretch. The first real surf worthy of a paddle shows up on Thursday, 10th of September, but before that, it’s a whole lotta nothing. From now until Wednesday the 9th, we’re looking at a flat spell with hardly a ripple worth mentioning. A few tiny pulses on the 30th and 31st of August barely register, and the first week of September is a write-off. Patience is the name of the game.
Come Thursday morning, 10th September, we finally get a pulse of life. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the east, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 81, so it’s not gonna shake the world, but it’s something. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the east at 6 mph, so it’ll be a little bumpy but still rideable for the beginners. The water temp is a chilly 64°, which is a whopping 8° colder than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, bring a thick suit.
For the standout of the whole window, I’d have to point to Wednesday morning, 2nd September. I know, I know, it’s a small day, but hear me out. The wind goes glassy from the SSW at 3 mph, and the conditions are clean. There’s a tiny 2ft east swell ticking over with a 5-second period, and the combined energy is a mere 14. It’s barely a wave, but the glassy surface means if you’ve got a longboard, you can still have a laugh. For a spot that’s usually inconsistent, this is about as good as it gets for the tiny stuff.
Other than that, the 10th and 11th of September offer a bit more size but with that cross-onshore wind, so it’s not as clean. The swell direction from the east is a bit off the optimum ESE for Fuengirola, so the waves won’t be perfectly lined up.
Overall, keep your expectations low. It’s a long, flat run, and then a few small, grovelly options. The forecasts can change, so don’t write it off completely.
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.
