The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Fuengirola over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the first week and a half is a tough watch. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly on it or cross-on, and the scores are flat. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much from now until around the 21st of September, with hardly a wave worth paddling for. The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be a shock.
The only flicker of hope comes right at the tail end of the forecast. The 22nd of September, Tuesday morning, we see a jump in swell to 5ft from the east, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 409 (moderate), but it's still a cross-onshore wind. This is marginal, at best. The real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of the 25th of September, Friday. The swell pushes to 6ft from the east, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 634 (moderate to strong). The wind is a light cross-shore from the NNE. For Fuengirola, that’s as good as it gets in this window. It’s a solid, punchy east swell, but it’s still a beach break, so with a period this short, it’s going to be a bit crumbly. The size is getting up there, over 5ft, so it's not for beginners. The wind is clean enough to make it workable, but don't expect perfection. The rest of that week looks similar, with marginal conditions.
Bottom line: the first 12 days are a write-off. Save your energy for the 25th of September morning. It’s the only window that offers something half-decent and it’s still a gamble. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don't hold your breath.
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.
