The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here, talking Fuengirola. We’re looking at a pretty dismal stretch ahead. The first real surfable wave doesn’t show its face until the morning of September 14th. Before that, it’s a dead run of flat days – total glass, no energy, nothing to get excited about. A long gap of quiet conditions.
When it finally does pick up on Monday the 14th, it’s small. The morning gives you waves around 3 ft from the east, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WSW and a combined wave energy of 51 (moderate). The period is short at 6 seconds, so the waves will be weak and a bit crumbly. The afternoon turns onshore and gets messy. For a beginner spot like Fuengirola, this is a “just get some fresh air” kind of day.
Tuesday the 15th brings a bit more size. The morning has waves around 3 ft from the east, a 7-second period, and energy of 72 (moderate). The wind is light cross-onshore from the NE, so not clean but okay. The afternoon is the biggest push of the whole outlook, with waves hitting 4 ft from the east, a 7-second period, and a strong energy reading of 259. But the wind swings onshore from the ESE, which will put a chop on the face. For a beach break with that short period, it might be more interesting for the kiteboarders than the paddle crowd.
That’s it for the action. Water temp is 66°, which is a good 7° colder than usual for this time of year – you’ll want a thick suit.
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.
