The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Fuengirola in feet and Fahrenheit. It’s a bit of a bleak outlook.
The water is sitting at 72°, which is dead average for this time of year.
The first week, from the 12th of September through to the 18th, is a total bust. We start with a tiny, weak east swell around 2 to 3ft on the 13th, but cross-onshore wind ruins it. The combined energy hits 361 (moderate) that Sunday morning but it’s choppy and poor. Flat spells pop up from the 16th and 17th with clean offshore wind but zero waves.
We get a tiny glimmer on Saturday the 19th morning: 4ft of east swell at 6 seconds, only a light cross-shore wind. Still, the call is "marginal." The actual standout comes on Monday the 21st, in the morning. That’s the pick of the whole run. You get 4ft of east swell, combined energy of 275 (moderate), and glassy conditions. That’s the one clean session, but the swell is still short period. Everything after that fades into flatness or tiny junk.
After the 21st, it’s back to small junk or flat, with an occasional clean but tiny day like the 27th morning with 0.7ft and offshore wind—barely a ripple.
This is a beginner-friendly spot, but not this fortnight. The only day you’d even bother checking is Monday the 21st morning. Other than that, it’s a long, dry spell.
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.
