The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. This is Rusty, and I’ve got the straight-up word on the surf down here.
First up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s gonna be a bit of a drought to kick things off. Don’t expect much for the first week or so. We've got a serious flat spell on the cards from Wednesday the 26th of August right through to the middle of the following week. You’ll be looking at a week of nothing but knee-high dribble and glassy but tiny conditions. The combined wave energy is a measly zero for days on end, so leave your board in the car. It’s poor surf and it knows it.
That changes a touch as we roll into the second week. The first real chance of something rideable pops up on Thursday the 3rd of September. The morning of the 3rd looks pretty good with a glassy 2-foot easterly swell and the combined energy hitting a weak 24. But the standout moment, the one worth circling in your calendar, is Thursday afternoon. We get a jump to a solid 4-foot easterly swell (energy at 196) – but there's a caveat. The wind swings around to a light cross-onshore from the ENE, so it'll have a few bumps on it. The break here is Fuengirola, which is exposed to this east swell, but it's not perfect.
If you’re a beginner, that 4-foot swell on the 3rd is getting right to your limit, so take care. For the rest of the week after that, it settles back down to small, clean, and ultimately forgettable surf. There's just nothing else that fires properly in this 16-day window. It’s a long, slow run of tiny conditions, so enjoy the time off or get the kite out if the wind picks up, because paddle surfing is going to be a real struggle.
Stay patient.
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.
