The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the Fuengirola forecast. Honestly, folks, it’s a tough one. We’re looking at a pretty dry spell over the next sixteen days. The swell window is mostly closed, and we’ve got long flat spells. The water’s sitting about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Right off the bat, from Monday the 10th all the way through to the morning of Sunday the 16th of August, it’s flat. We’re talking barely a ripple. Tiny swells of 0.7 ft at best, with combined wave energy numbers as low as 1 or 2. Doesn’t matter what the wind is doing – onshore, offshore, glassy – when there's no swell, there's no surf.

Now, there is one tiny window that shows up. On the morning of Sunday the 16th of August, we get a pulse. The swell builds to about 2 ft from the east, with a 5-second period. The combined energy climbs to 20. By the afternoon, it ticks up to 2 ft, energy hits 42, and we get a light cross-shore wind. This is the peak of the entire forecast. It’s small, and the east direction isn’t the ideal ESE for this spot, but for a beginner looking for a gentle push, it’s the only time to be in the water. The best sessions will be those glassy, windless mornings.

This little pulse holds into Monday the 17th, offering 2 ft waves from the east with a 6-second period. The wind goes light cross-off in the morning, keeping it clean. Combined energy is in the 30s (34 in the AM). It's still tiny, but it’s rideable.

After that, it’s back to nothing. From Tuesday the 18th onwards, the swell energy drops to zero or single digits. The entire second week, from the 19th to the 25th of August, is a complete washout. The wind might be howling offshore on some days, but it doesn't matter because there is literally no swell. It’s lake conditions. This kind of extended flat spell isn't the norm, but it’s what we’ve got.

Your only real option, if you can call it that, is Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th of August at the Fuengirola break. Look for those 2 to 2 ft waves from the east early in the morning. It’s a brief window, and it’s for the beginner or the longboarder who just needs to get wet.

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.
