The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Fuengirola’s got cooking over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a tough start. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf on the cards for the first week and a half. From now through to about the 16th of August, it’s basically flat with zero wave energy. The sea’s calm, the winds are light or glassy at times, but there’s just nothing to ride. A few tiny ripples pop up here and there, but nothing worth paddling out for. You’d be better off grabbing a cold one and watching the horizon.
Now, things start to stir a little around Monday the 17th of August. The morning brings in a small pulse from the ESE – about 3 ft with a period of 6 seconds. Combined swell energy is still weak at 46, and the wind is light offshore from the NW, so it’ll be clean. But honestly, it’s barely surfable – very ordinary. The afternoon picks up just a touch to 3 ft and 55 energy, but the wind swings cross-offshore from the WSW, keeping it rideable but nothing to write home about.
The standout window arrives on Tuesday the 18th of August. Fuengirola wakes up to a proper pulse: 5 ft of ESE groundswell, period of 8 seconds, and combined energy jumping to a moderate 273. That’s the best we’ve seen by a long shot. The morning has a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, which will keep things reasonably clean. This is the one to aim for – still manageable for most, but that 5 ft might be a bit much for total beginners. The afternoon drops slightly to 5 ft with energy at 253, but the wind picks up to a moderate cross-off from the SW, making it a bit bumpier and only marginal.
So if you’re hanging for a wave, circle Tuesday the 18th of August. The rest of the outlook is pretty quiet, so don’t hold your breath for anything else. Water temps are sitting around 76°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you’ll be comfortable waiting.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecast.
Rusty.

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

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.
