The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it's been a tough outlook for our stretch of coast. We're looking at a proper flat spell that's gonna last a good while, so don't be holding your breath for any waves this week or the next.
The water's sitting at 73°, pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least a paddle won't be a shock to the system.
We've got nothing on the cards from Thursday 13th August right through to the end of Sunday 23rd August. That's over a week and a half of flat, clean conditions but zero surfable energy. A few tiny ripples pop up on the 18th (Tuesday) with the wind swinging offshore from the west, but with a swell height of just 2 ft and a combined energy reading of (16), it's barely a bump. If you're desperate for a float, you might find a knee-high dribble, but don't expect a wave you can actually ride.
Things stay dead until the very end of the outlook. On Friday 28th August, we finally see a pulse of life. The morning brings swell at 2 ft from the east, and by the afternoon it's up to 3 ft, with energy climbing to (67). The wind goes clean offshore from the WNW in the morning. It's still small, but after two weeks of nothing, a clean 3 ft wave with that glassy offshore feel is the only show in town. Fuengirola is the spot, and for beginners, that tiny, clean surf on the 28th afternoon might actually be the best chance to get wet.
So to sum it up: save your energy for the final Friday of the month. The rest is a write-off. Stay patient.

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.
