Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a long look ahead at the Costa del Sol, and I’ll be straight with you – the first week and a half is a total write-off for surf. We’re looking at a dry spell from now until late July.
From Thursday the 9th right through to the morning of Wednesday the 22nd, the swell is either non-existent or just a tiny, weak pulse of 0.3ft to 0.7ft from the east, with a combined energy (1) so low it’s practically flat. The odd bit of glassy or offshore wind will keep the water surface pretty, but there’s just no wave to ride. It’s a long, quiet gap for the area.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Thursday the 23rd of July at Fuengirola. We’ll see a newborn swell of 3ft from the east, with a period of 6 seconds, pushing the combined energy up to a weak but present 51. The wind is looking light and offshore from the WNW, which will make it clean. The breaks are fairly consistent here, but this is a beginner-friendly spot, so the size is just right for a longboard or a foamie. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit. The swell direction (ESE) is a solid match for what the spot likes. Keep in mind, crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early for a peaceful session.
The afternoon of the 23rd is a bit of a letdown, with the wind shifting onshore and making things messy. The morning of the 24th of July is still surfable, but the swell is dropping back to 2ft and the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s not a standout.
The true standout is the morning of Thursday the 23rd. That’s your best chance for a clean, rideable wave on a log.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
