The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Fuengirola stretch.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for paddle surfing. There’s a long, flat stretch from now right through until the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September. We’re talkin’ tiny dribbles, if anything at all—winds might be glassy, but with zero swell, you’re just lookin' at a lake. The water’s sittin' at a chilly 66°, which is a solid 7° colder than normal for this time of year, so that’s proper unusual—you’ll be wantin’ a thick suit.
We finally see a pulse try to show up on Thursday the 3rd of September morning, with a 4ft easterly swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, and the energy is weak (104). It’s still tagged as poor surf. Not worth paddlin’ out for.
Honestly, the only real standout in this whole 16-day window is the session on Friday the 11th of September morning. That’s the one to circle. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell coming from the ESE, with a period of 9 seconds—that’s a decent groundswell, plenty of grunt behind it. The wind is almost non-existent, just a light cross-shore breeze, so the face should be clean. The combined energy is a hefty 819, so there’s real power in the water. Now, that size is seriously big—over 8ft—so this is strictly for the experienced crew. Beginners, stay well clear. The swell direction (ESE) is lining up nicely with the optimum for this spot. It’s a fairly consistent break, but at that size, it’ll be a handful.
The afternoon of the 11th and into Saturday the 12th gets even bigger—10ft to 12ft—with even more energy (2743, 1640, 3470). That’s massive, gnarly stuff. The winds glass off on Saturday morning, so for the absolute experts, that Saturday morning might be the pick of the whole run, but it’s not for the faint-hearted. With that much swell, even a mellow beach break like Fuengirola is gonna be a washing machine.
So, bottom line: the next ten days are a flat, cold snooze. The one window to get excited about is the 11th and 12th of September, but only if you’ve got the skill and the balls to handle it. Stay tuned, forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
