The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The forecast is calling it "poor surf conditions" for the entire 16-day window, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. We're looking at a real dry spell here in Fuengirola.
The first hint of any bump in the water doesn't even show up until Monday morning, the 10th of August, and even then it's barely a ripple. We've got a gap of several days with absolutely nothing to recommend. The whole period is a flat spell, honestly.
Let's walk through it. The only break we've got on the books is Fuengirola itself. It's a beginner-friendly spot, exposed to whatever swell comes in. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real, albeit tiny, sign of life is on the morning of Monday the 10th of August. We're talking a tiny 0.3ft swell from the east with a short period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of just 1 (weak). The wind is light offshore though, so it'll be clean. But it's not really surfable. The afternoon gets a bit of cross-onshore breeze and a 0.7ft swell, still no good.
The theme continues. Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th have glassy mornings with that same tiny 0.3ft east swell, but it's just not enough to push a wave. The 19th of August sees a 0.7ft south-southwest swell with a short period of 4 seconds, and the 20th and 21st bring a tiny 1.0ft east swell, but it's cross-on or onshore wind. Every single entry is marked "poor surf conditions."
There is no standout. There is no best option. The entire 16 days is a write-off for paddle surfing. The only spot that gets a mention is Fuengirola, and it's not working. For anyone who's been around here, a blank run like this isn't completely out of the ordinary, but it's a bummer.
Stay patient, folks. The forecasts can change, but right now, it's a long wait.

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.
