The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days around Fuengirola are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead with almost nothing to get excited about.
Right now and through the end of July, it’s a flat, clean, and frustrating picture. The first proper surfable wave doesn’t show up until Monday the 27th, and even then it’s a tiny 1ft easterly windswell with a short period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 6 (weak). The wind is a mess, either cross or cross-on, so it’s not going to be pretty. The water temperature is sitting at 73°, which is about average for the time of year.
The only window that might get your attention is around Tuesday the 28th. The morning brings a slight bump to 3ft from the ESE, period 6 seconds, with a light cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is still only 50 (weak). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon sees a jump to 5ft from the east, period 7, and the energy climbs to 272 (moderate). But the wind swings cross-on, and the commentary says it’s marginal. That’s the best we’ve got, and it’s not saying much.
Wednesday the 29th keeps the swell around 4ft to 5ft from the east, period 7, with moderate energy (151-393). The wind is a problem—cross or cross-on. Thursday the 30th offers a glimmer with glassy conditions in the morning and 4ft of east swell, but it’s still only ordinary. That’s the standout moment, but it’s a weak one.
After that, the first week of August is a total write-off. The swell drops to nothing, with heights under 1ft and periods of 4-5 seconds. There’s a gap of several days with no real surf on offer. The 4th of August shows a tiny pulse of 2ft to 3ft, but it’s accompanied by poor conditions.
The bottom line: Don’t get your hopes up. The only break on the cards is Fuengirola itself, a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent but exposed to the east. The best bet is the Thursday morning of the 30th of July, with 4ft of east swell and glassy conditions. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only clean window in the whole mess. The energy is low (156), the period is short (7 seconds), and the waves will be small and weak. Everything else is a flat, choppy, or windy dud.
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.
