The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming up for Fuengirola.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day forecast is a tough one. We’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead with mostly small, weak, and choppy surf. Don't get your hopes up for much until we get well into the second week. There’s a gap from now all the way through to the morning of September 18th with basically nothing worth paddling out for.
The water temp here is sitting at 72°, which is bang on average for this time of year.
Our only real standout, and I mean the *only* one, comes in on the morning of Friday the 18th of September. That morning, the stars nearly align. We’ve got a 6ft swell rolling in from the East with a period of 7 seconds. The energy jumps right up to a solid moderate level (586). The wind is calm, dead glass, which will make Fuengirola look like a lake. For a morning session, this is the one to chase on your foamie longboard. It’s clean, it’s there, and it’s the best we’re going to get all period. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” here, so you might have a few buddies out, but it won't be a zoo.
The Saturday morning after, the 19th, is also glassy, with a similar 5ft swell from the East (360 energy), but it’s a step down from Friday. A good backup if you miss the window.
Beyond that, it’s all downhill again. A few clean mornings with offshore winds pop up here and there, like the 20th and 23rd, but the swell fades fast into the ankle-to-knee-high stuff. Unless you’re desperate to get wet with a tiny log, it’s not really worth it. With the swell running small and clean, but weak, it might look more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle guys on some days.
Keep an eye on that Friday the 18th. That’s your window.
Catch ya later.
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.
