The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Fuengirola stretch over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough one. The entire 16-day window is barren. There’s nothing on the table that qualifies as a proper surf recommendation. We’re looking at a long, flat run with zero options for a paddle. The first few days from Monday the 20th of July right through to the end of the month are showing “poor surf conditions” across the board, with no swell to speak of for most of that time.
We do see a tiny pulse trying to show up around Wednesday the 29th of July. The morning brings a bit of 4ft swell from the east with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 120 (moderate wave energy). The wind is glassy, which is a nice touch, but the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s about as generous as it gets. For a beginner-friendly break like Fuengirola (Spain), that’s a long way from a standout. The water is sitting at 73°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The whole second week stays flat or tiny. A few mornings with 3ft or 2ft easterly slop, but the wind is often cross or onshore, and the energy is pathetic—dropping into single digits by the start of August. Honestly, this is one of those blank runs that’s more normal for the area in summer. If you’re desperate for a splash, the best you can hope for is a glassy morning on the 29th, but don’t expect much. It’s a kite-surfing kind of window for the most part—windy afternoons and no real wave power.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, though. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and things can change. But for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.

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.
