IMPERIAL UNITS
Alright, grab a coffee, 'cause I’ve got to be straight with you – the next couple of weeks look pretty flat for Fuengirola. We’re staring down a long, dry spell with next to nothing on offer.
The first hint of any kind of bump comes on Monday, July 20th, but it’s barely a ripple. 0.7ft of weak SSW swell with a period of 4 seconds – that’s windswill, not surf. The combined energy is a measly (2), so don’t bother getting your hopes up. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but you won’t need a wetsuit.
From there, it’s a whole lot of nothing. We’ve got a gap of several days where the ocean just doesn’t care. The winds are light, often glassy, but there’s simply no swell to make it worthwhile. A few tiny pulses of easterly swell pop up around the 24th and 25th, but they’re short-period junk (3-4 seconds) and the conditions are onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and messy. The combined energy never gets above (5) – it’s flat.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is the very end of the run. We’re looking at Saturday, August 1st as the best on offer. The morning shows a 3ft swell from the east with a 7-second period. The combined energy finally climbs to (86), which is still weak but at least it’s something. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the north, so the surf should be clean. It’s a beginner-friendly size, and the break itself is fairly consistent. The crowd factor is "sometimes", so you might have a few others out, but it won’t be a zoo. For the first time in two weeks, it’s actually surfable, even if it’s "very ordinary".
The rest of the time? Forget it. The combined energy is zero for most days. There’s a tiny blip on the 29th with a 1ft east swell and a 7-second period, giving a combined energy of (8), but it’s still too small to get excited about. It’s clean, but it’s not worth paddling out for.
In short, you’ve got a long wait. The 1st of August is your only real shot. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, it’s a desert. Hang loose.

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.
