Alright, grab a coffee – or something stronger – because this one is a tough pill to swallow. I’m looking at Fuengirola for the next couple of weeks, and honest to god, it’s a desert out there.

To put it bluntly, there is nothing to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off. From now through to the end of the period, we’ve got zero recommendations. That’s a solid two weeks+ with no surf worth paddling for. The water’s warm, sitting about 2°F above normal for this time of year (Fuengirola), so it’s a touch warmer than usual, which is nice for a swim, but not much else.

Let’s run through the painful details. Tuesday the 7th morning brings a tiny 1ft from the east with a pathetic 4 second period and a combined swell energy of just (5). That’s barely a ripple. The wind is light cross-shore but the report screams “poor surf conditions,” so don’t even bother. That afternoon, the swell drops to 0.7ft from the ESE with the same rubbish period.

From Wednesday the 8th right through to Wednesday the 22nd, it’s almost all zeros for swell. We get the odd trace of 0.3ft or 0.7ft, but honestly, that’s nothing. On the 21st of July, Tuesday afternoon, the finder shows 1ft from the ESE with a period of only 3 seconds... that’s windswill, not swell. Combined energy of just (1). On the 22nd, Wednesday morning, 0.7ft from the east (period 4 secs), and that afternoon a glassy 1ft from the east with 3-second period. It’s flat, my friend.

There are a few mornings with light offshore or glassy conditions—the 9th, 10th, 11th, 16th, 17th, 19th, and 21st all have clean-looking, offshore winds—but with zero swell in the water, they’re just perfect for paddleboarding or a long swim.

For Fuengirola, this is just how it goes sometimes. The break is fairly consistent, but we’re in a dead run. Forecasts change, so don’t lose all hope, but for the next 16 days, you’re better off finding another hobby. The wind will be clean and offshore on some days, but with no groundswell on the cards, it’s a washout.

Best on offer? There isn’t one. If you’re a kite surfer, maybe the stronger afternoon breezes (15 mph from the SW on the 9th and 17th) will get you going. For a paddle surfer? Stay home.

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.
