The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve scanned the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to be straight with you: it’s a tough stretch for surf. We’ve got a long, flat spell ahead, and the swell window is basically shut. If you’re jonesing for a wave, you’re going to be waiting a while.
The first few days are completely dead. From Sunday the 9th through to the 19th, there’s nothing but tiny, windswell bumps that won’t even break properly. We’re talking ankle-slashers at best, with the odd ripple from the east. The water temp is sitting at 74.3°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least it’s warm while you’re sitting there wondering where the waves went. There are a few glassy mornings early on, like Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th, but with barely a couple of feet of swell and weak energy (1-2), it’s just not worth paddling out.
This blank run is more normal for the area, unfortunately. The consistency is just not there. We see a few small pulses mid-week, but nothing with any push. The 19th and 20th see a slight lift, with the swell getting up to a meagre 1.3ft on Thursday the 20th morning, but the period is short and the energy is weak (6). It’s still poor surf conditions.
The real wait is for the end of the window. On Sunday the 23rd, we finally see something that looks like a wave. The swell bumps up to 1.6ft from the east with a period of 5-6 seconds, and the energy starts to climb (14-15). Still not big, but it’s the first sign of life. The wind is offshore in the morning, which will keep it clean. Then Monday the 24th looks a touch better, with the energy up to 18 and the same 1.6ft of east swell. It’s still a small, clean wave, but it’s the best we’ve got on offer. For a beginner, it’s about the only time you might find something to push you along at Fuengirola. It’s a fairly consistent spot when there’s swell, and the morning offshore breeze will help. But don’t expect any barrels – this is a grovel on a longboard.
The afternoon winds pick up from the southwest, hitting 15-18 mph, which will chop things up, so get on it early. The long-range outlook is promising but less certain, so don’t book your plane ticket just yet. But a couple of those small, clean morning waves are on the cards. Keep the faith, and I’ll see you in the water.

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.
