The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Fuengirola.
Honestly, folks, it’s a flat spell. We’re looking at a run of small, weak easterly windswell that never really gets going. The combined energy barely cracks double figures for most of the period, and the wave comment is a constant “poor surf conditions.” There’s a solid gap right through the first week and into the second where there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The water temperature is sitting about average for the time of year at 74°F.
The first real flicker of life shows up on the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. We’ve got a tiny 1ft easterly swell, period a short 6 seconds, and the energy is up to 11 – still weak. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the north, so the surface will be clean. By the afternoon, it’s a touch bigger at 2ft, but the wind shifts to a light cross-shore, which isn’t as good.
The best chance in this whole 16-day window looks like the morning of Wednesday the 19th of August. Same tiny easterly swell, nudging 2ft with a 7-second period, and the combined energy is the highest we’ll see at 23. The wind is glassy from the northwest, so it’ll be clean. The afternoon gets a bit of a southerly cross-off breeze, but it’s still surfable. You’ll be on a longboard or a foamie, but it’s the only time the conditions line up.
After that, it fades right back to nothing. There’s a little blip on the morning of Sunday the 23rd of August with 2ft easterly swell and energy back up to 19, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. The morning of Monday the 24th of August has glassy conditions but only 1.0ft on offer.
So, the standout is the morning of Wednesday the 19th of August. It’s not a day for the history books, but it’s the cleanest, most surfable window we’ve got. Fuengirola is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot, and with that glassy morning, it’ll be a good one for a cruise. The rest of the period is a write-off. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, it can’t stay this quiet forever.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Fuengirola can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
