Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me level with you straight up about Fuengirola. Lookin’ at the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be honest with ya – it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a long, dry gap right from the get-go. There’s nothing rideable from now, Friday the 10th, all the way through to Sunday the 13th, that’s a couple of days of flat, clean but flat conditions.
The first tiny blip of energy shows up on Monday morning the 13th. We’re talkin’ a pathetic 0.3ft of easterly slop with a short period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 1, so barely a ripple. The water temp is 77° which is a massive 5° warmer than usual – that’s really unusual for this time of year, feels like a bath. It’s glassy though, so if you’re desperate for a float, you might find a knee-high dribble.
This pattern of tiny, weak easterly pulses will continue day after day. Tuesday the 14th, Wednesday the 15th, Thursday the 16th... all producing the same story: 0.3ft of swell and energy readings of just 1. The winds are often light and variable, sometimes glassy, but there’s just no power behind it. This is a serious run of flat water.
We finally see a bit of a pulse kick up around the 19th of July, Sunday morning. The swell bumps to 2ft from the east, period of 4 seconds, energy up to 11 – still weak. The wind is onshore from the east though, which will mess up what little shape there is. By Sunday afternoon we get the best of a bad lot with 3ft from the ESE and a period of 6 seconds (energy of 92), but the wind shifts to a light onshore breeze. It’s not clean, it’s not powerful, but it’s the most swell we’ll see. Even then, it’s labelled as "poor surf conditions."
The rest of the forecast is more of the same: small, weak, onshore wind-affected easterly swells that never crack 3ft. This spot is exposed to the east and is best with an ESE swell direction, which matches up, but the quality just isn’t there. For a beginner spot that is fairly consistent, this is a very quiet run.
To be brutally honest, this looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The wave energy is just too weak and the wind is often wrong for clean waves.
Keep your hopes up, the forecasts can always change, but right now Fuengirola is a no-go.
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.
