The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for Fuengirola over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it's a bit of a lean run for the surf around here. We've got a real patchy stretch ahead. The water temp is sitting at a pleasant 73°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least it'll be comfortable just floating around.
The first week is pretty much a write-off. From Wednesday the 9th right through to the morning of Saturday the 19th, it's all tiny, weak, and messy. The combined swell energy is often in the low single digits (2 to 31 range), showing just how little power there is. You'll see some glassy mornings, like on Monday the 14th and Wednesday the 16th, but with swell heights barely hitting 2ft and a poor period of 6 seconds, there's nothing to actually ride. It’s just flat or a little wind bump.
Now, things do finally show a pulse of life on Saturday the 19th and into the start of the following week. On Saturday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the ESE, and the combined energy hits 131 (moderate). But it's onshore and the period is still a poor 6 seconds, so it's going to be a bit of a messy, crumbling shorebreak.
The real standout, if you can call it that, looks to be Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st. We've got a building swell from the ESE/E, pushing 5ft to 6ft with a period hitting 8 seconds. The combined energy gets up to a strong 539 on Monday afternoon. This is the best wave energy of the whole forecast. The wind is cross-onshore though, which will put some texture on the face. It’s not perfect, but it’ll be the most ridable it gets, and with a height of 6ft, it's still manageable for most intermediates. Just keep in mind, for a beach break like Fuengirola, that easterly swell can be a bit straight and dumpy.
Bottom line: If you're desperate for a paddle, hit Monday the 21st in the afternoon when the energy peaks. The rest of the run is a lot of waiting.

A general guide to surfing at Fuengirola can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
