The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how it’s looking for Fuengirola over the next couple of weeks. You’re gonna have to be patient – real patient. The first surfable wave doesn’t show up until Sunday the 2nd of August, and even then it’s not exactly lighting up the horizon. Before that, it’s a dead flat run from now all the way through Saturday the 1st of August. That’s a solid 15 days of nothing – typical summer flat spell for this part of the coast, so don’t get your hopes up.
Come Sunday the 2nd of August, we finally get a tiny pulse. Early morning the wind goes glassy, with a light NNE breeze at 3 mph and the sea is clean. Swell is from the east at 3 ft, period a short 6 seconds – so it’s weak, small, and a bit choppy underneath. The combined energy is only 88 – that’s barely a whisper. The wave is surfable, but it’s ordinary: small, short-period, and the break at Fuengirola is a beginner-friendly spot, exposed to the east. Optimum swell direction is ESE, so this east swell is close enough. But don’t expect any power – it’s a knee-high mush burger for the most part. Still, with glassy conditions, there’ll be a few fun little rides if you’re on a foamie or a longboard. Crowds are possible, but on a day like this, it’ll be quiet. This is the only wave on offer in the whole 16-day window, so if you’re desperate, that’s your moment. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast.

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.
