The Lowdown
Right, pull up a seat, because I’ve been through the numbers for Fuengirola over the next couple of weeks, and it’s looking like a long, flat stretch ahead. Let’s break it down.
Starting Thursday, the 27th of August, we’ve got absolutely nothing. Zero swell, zero energy (0), and a fresh cross-offshore breeze. The water’s at 67°, which is a massive 6° colder than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so you’ll want a thicker wetsuit. But with no waves, it’s a non-starter.
Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th are more of the same. A tiny 0.3ft easterly windswell pops up Saturday morning with a period of only 7 seconds – that’s short and weak, with energy at 1. Not enough to ride. Winds are light, but the swell is basically flat. Sunday the 30th, Monday the 31st, and Tuesday the 1st of September are all flat and glassy. This is a total blank run.
We get a tiny pulse on Wednesday the 2nd of September: 0.7ft from the east at a lousy 5 seconds, energy around 2-3. The morning is glassy, but the waves are barely a ripple.
Thursday the 3rd of September is the best we’re going to see, but don’t get your hopes up. We’ve got 3ft of easterly swell with a 5-second period, pushing energy to 40 – still weak. Winds are light cross-onshore in the morning and onshore in the afternoon. It’s still poor quality, and that short period means the waves will be weak and crumbly.
Friday the 4th drops to 2ft, Saturday the 5th to 1ft, and Sunday the 6th has 1ft – all with short periods and low energy. Some glassy mornings, but no power.
From Monday the 7th through to Friday the 11th of September, it’s back to tiny stuff: 0.7ft to 1ft, periods of 4-5 seconds, energy barely scraping into double digits. A few glassy mornings, but it’s not surfable in any meaningful way.
The Bottom Line: There is no standout surf in this 16-day window. The only day that even gets close to rideable is Thursday the 3rd of September with that 3ft pulse, but it’s poor quality with short period and onshore wind. For beginners, it’s a splash; for anyone else, it’s a write-off. The combined energy never gets out of the weak range, and the water is unusually cold. If the wind picks up, this setup might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Stay patient – forecasts can change.

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.
