The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the forecast for Fuengiengirola is looking pretty flat for a good long while. We’ve got a dry spell on our hands.
The first bit of anything worth paddling out for doesn't show up until the morning of Thursday the 18th of September. Before that, we're looking at a solid stretch of nothing. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a solid 4° colder than it should be for this time of year, so you’ll be wanting a thicker spring suit. That easterly wind, while light and glassy some mornings, just isn't pushing any decent swell our way. The combined energy is a measly 2 (2) to 14 (14) for most of the run, which is basically bathtub status.
Now, talking about the 18th of September. For the first time in two weeks, the early morning shows a bit of life. We’ve got a 4ft easterly swell pushing in, with that combined energy finally climbing into triple digits at 108 (108). It’s not a monster, but it's something. The wind is glassy from the north, so it’ll be clean. The problem is the period is only 5 seconds – that’s windswell, short and choppy without much grunt. It’s mushy, but it’s surfable. The spot is Fuengirola itself. It’s exposed to the east, which is a good thing with this swell direction, but for a beginner-friendly spot, this is about as small as it gets. The crowds are listed as "sometimes," so with this being the only game in town, expect a few others out there.
The afternoon of the 18th drops right back off to 1ft and poor conditions, so your window is a short one. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that Thursday morning is your only real look. The rest of the 16 days is a dusty, flat wait. For such a long stretch of nothing, it’s a bit of a bummer, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
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.
