The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Fuengirola is a tough one for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for.
Right now, and for the first several days, the ocean is flat. There’s a whole lot of nothing happening. From Friday the 7th right through until the morning of Saturday the 22nd, the surf stays minimal. That’s over two weeks of almost no wave energy. The combined energy values are all in the single digits or zero (0 to 13), which is about as weak as it gets.
You’ll see a few tiny pulses of 0.3ft to 1ft from the east or southeast, but with short periods of 4 to 6 seconds, these are just wind slop, not real surf. The few times we get a glassy morning, like Saturday the 8th or Sunday the 9th, the swell is flat. It’s a classic case of the ocean taking a holiday.
The one glimmer, and it’s a long way off, comes on the afternoon of Saturday the 22nd of August. We finally see a little bump of 4ft from the east, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 141. The wind is light and cross-shore. It’s not going to be world-class, but it’s the only thing on the whole forecast that even looks like a wave. The water temp is about 75° which is normal for the time of year, so that’s not a problem.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, Fuengirola is a write-off for surf. For a beginner, it’s just not worth it. The swell doesn’t get over 5ft, but it’s also never really there. If you’re desperate, mark your calendar for the 22nd and hope the forecasts improve. Otherwise, the beach is for sunbathing, not surfing.
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.
