The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the outlook for Fuengirola.
It's a pretty quiet start for Fuengirola, with a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions to kick things off. You are looking at a blank run of small, weak, and messy surf for the first few days. Nothing worth paddling out for until we get further into the forecast.
Things finally start looking a bit different come Sunday, the 20th of September. Sunday morning is the standout. We’ve got a 8ft swell rolling in from the E, combined with a solid moderate wave energy (969). The real kicker is the glassy conditions from that NE wind at just 3 mph – it’s going to be clean out there. Fair warning though, that swell is on the bigger side, making it one for experienced surfers only. The water temp here is sitting at 71°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. Crowds can be a factor here, so expect some company at Fuengirola if you're heading out that morning. The rest of that day turns onshore and drops off.
After that Sunday morning peak, the energy sticks around but the quality tanks. Monday the 21st still has some size (7ft) from the E with moderate energy (695), but the cross-shore wind makes it choppy and messy. It’s marginal at best. Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd see the swell drop to around 4ft from the east, with light cross-shore winds – still not great, just ordinary.
Looking further out, we do get a couple of sessions worth a mention. On Saturday the 26th of September, there’s a small but clean window in the morning. A 4ft swell from the east with light offshore wind from the W (6 mph) – clean conditions (combined energy of 120). It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s surfable. The following Tuesday morning, the 29th of September, offers a similar story: 3ft from the east with a light offshore WNW wind (3 mph) keeping things clean. A very small ride, but it’s about as good as it gets once the main swell fades.
Overall, don't rush for a board until that Sunday morning the 20th. That's the one to circle on the calendar. After that, the rest is small and average.
Stay tuned, forecasts change.
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.
