The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s going to be a tough one for surfers. We’re staring down a long, flat spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. If you’ve got a board that likes a bit of chop, this isn’t it. For the paddle crew, it’s looking like a whole lot of waiting.
Right now, through the weekend and into the start of next week, there’s zilch on offer. The ocean’s basically asleep. We’re talking days with zero swell energy. You’ll see the water temp sitting at around 72.1°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll be comfortable while you’re sitting on your board doing nothing. The 6th through the 9th are dead. A couple of tiny bumps show up on the 10th and 11th, but they’re short-period wind slop, nothing with any push. Even with the odd glassy morning, like on the 11th, there won't be a wave to ride. That early week period – the 10th to the 13th – is just going to be a write-off. Don't even bother.
The weekend of the 16th and 17th is more of the same. We get some clean mornings, but it’s all for nothing with no swell. We’re talking a solid nine or ten days of nothing, a real blank run for Fuengirola.
There is one tiny glimmer, and I mean tiny, right at the very end. Towards the 19th of August, the models are hinting at a pulse of easterly windswell. We’re looking at ankle to knee-high stuff, around 1.6ft, with a period of just 5 seconds. That’s short-period slop. The combined energy reading is a weak 13 to 14, so we’re not talking about anything with grunt. Even then, the wind looks like it’ll be on it in the afternoon.
Now, if you’re desperate and that little bump does show up, the break is Fuengirola. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent when there’s anything at all. The swell direction is forecast from the E and ENE, which isn't its optimum – it really wants that ESE direction to work properly. So, expect it to be a bit weak and disorganized. It’s not going to be a standout, but it’s literally all we have. It could be clean on the morning of the 19th with light winds, but with that short period, it’ll be soft.
This is a long old drought. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, don't get your hopes up. The setup is so weak that it honestly looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for us. Keep the board in the car and the wax in the bag.

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.
