The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch ahead for Fuengirola. We’re looking at a real flat spell with very little to get excited about. The water is sitting at a warm 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight.
The whole forecast period starts with a near-total lack of surf. From Tuesday the 18th right through to the end of August, the swell is tiny or non-existent. We've got a long run of days with nothing rideable, just flat, clean conditions. There’s a brief flicker of life on the 27th and 28th, but it’s still pretty weak. The best of a bad bunch looks to be the very end of the month, but even then, we’re talking about marginal, knee-high slop.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, keep an eye on Fuengirola. Around Thursday the 28th, we might see some waist-high waves push in from the east. The combined swell energy is still weak at 41, so don't expect much push. The wind on Friday morning is a bit messy with a cross-shore breeze, but later in the week, we get a window. Saturday morning the 29th looks like the best bet: glassy conditions with a clean 2 ft easterly swell. It’s small, but at least it’ll be clean. Sunday the 30th is also glassy in the morning, but the swell drops right back down to 1 ft.
Just keep your expectations in check. This is a proper summer flat spell, and it might be a better time to work on your tan than your surfing. The forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
