The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here. I’ve got to be honest with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for surfing.

Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a frustrating picture. For a solid stretch, from now through the end of August, the energy is just not there. We’re looking at a week or more of flat or tiny, messy conditions. There are no standout sessions on offer. The only break in the game is Fuengirola, and it’s just not happening. The winds are all over the place, the swell is tiny and weak, and the conditions are consistently poor for surfing. This isn’t a spot that goes off often, so a run like this, while a bummer, isn't totally abnormal for the area.

Let’s break it down. The first few days are a total washout. On Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th, we’ve got next to nothing. A tiny 2ft swell from the East on Sunday morning with a short 5-second period and weak energy (15) isn't going to do a thing. The wind is messy too.

Monday the 17th sees the biggest bump of the whole period, but it’s still not good. We get a 4ft swell from the ESE with a 7-second period and moderate energy (135), but the wind is a cross-shore or cross-onshore breeze. It’s going to be choppy and poor quality.

The rest of the first week and into the second is just tiny stuff – 2ft and under, with periods under 8 seconds. The energy readings are all in the double digits or single digits, meaning weak and gutless. There are a few cleaner windows with light offshore or cross-offshore winds from the West or Northwest, like on Tuesday the 18th morning, but the swell is barely 2ft. You might find a knee-high ripple, but it’s a long paddle for nothing.

We even get a few days from Saturday the 22nd to Monday the 24th where the swell completely flatlines for most of the daylight hours. There are some clean mornings with light offshore winds, but with zero swell, it’s dead flat.

The story doesn't get any better into the final days of August. The swell stays tiny, the period is short, and the wind is often onshore or cross-shore. It’s a long, flat run.

So, the honest truth is there’s no surf to get excited about here. The setup is so poor, with onshore wind and weak, short-period chop, that if you’re desperate to get on the water, this would be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Hang tight, check back later, and hopefully, the forecasts will turn around.

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.
