The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a tough stretch for Fuengirola. We’re looking at a long, quiet spell that barely offers a window. The good news is that the wait might just be worth it if you’re patient.
The sea is completely flat right now, and it stays that way for days. From Thursday 27th August right through to Wednesday 2nd September, there’s nothing doing. The water is running a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 71°F, so don’t expect a warm bath.
We finally get a tiny pulse on Thursday 3rd September afternoon. Swell starts to build from the east at 4 ft, with a period of 7 seconds and moderate combined energy of 223. It’s glassy—dead calm—which makes this the standout moment in the whole outlook. The east direction is a bit off the optimum for Fuengirola, but with those clean conditions you’ll get some fun, rideable waves. For beginners, this is about as good as it gets in this forecast.
Friday 4th September morning sees a drop to 3 ft and the energy falls to 57—still glassy, but very ordinary. Nothing special after that. From Saturday 5th September onward, it’s back to practically nothing. Brief pulses of tiny east swell under 2 ft with weak energy, and the odd glassy morning, but honestly, it’s flat-lining.
If you’re a kite surfer, the bigger afternoon winds on Friday 11th September from the southwest at 16 mph with a storm risk might be your thing. For paddle surfing, this is a long blank run. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s hardly a ripple.
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.
