The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a good, hard look at what’s coming our way for Fuengirola over the next couple of weeks. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, this is a tough outlook.
We are looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple for the best part of a week and a half. The first real chance of something happening doesn’t kick in until Wednesday, August 19th, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. You’ll be waiting a full nine days from now before you should even bother getting the wetsuit on. There is a big gap of nothingness for the first 9 days.
For Fuengirola, water temps are sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the wait will be comfortable. For the first week and a half, we’ve got tiny swells from the East, mostly under 1ft, and the energy levels are just pathetic—down around 1 to 2 (weak energy). The winds are light and variable but the combo of no swell and poor conditions means it's a complete no-go.
The only time the numbers start to look even slightly interesting is Wednesday morning, August 19th. The swell nudges up to 3ft from the East with a 7-second period, and the energy finally climbs to a moderate 72. The wind is offshore from the West at 6 mph, which will keep the surface clean. This is about as good as it gets in this forecast, but I’d call it "surfable but ordinary."
The Standout (as much as I can call it that):
If you absolutely must paddle out, Wednesday August 19th, morning, at Fuengirola is your window. Expect waist-high lines, around 3ft, from the East with a clean surface thanks to that offshore West wind. The water will be comfortable. The energy is there, but it's not going to be pumping. The break is exposed to the East swell and it's fairly consistent, though you can expect some company as crowds are possible there.
After that, Thursday August 20th morning offers a similar idea with 3ft and offshore winds again, but the energy drops off quickly, and by Friday the 21st we are back to tiny dribble. This is a long stretch of nothing for most of the window, but at least there's one little flurry in the middle of it to keep hope alive.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
