Alright, Rusty checking in. Let’s break it down.
The whole 16‑day stretch is mostly flat with only a few tiny bumps at the beginning and one slightly better window right at the end. The first couple of days have some knee‑high dribble, but the wind keeps it messy—definitely not worth rushing out.
The real story is the gap. From Wednesday morning, July 8th, all the way through Friday, July 17th, there’s nothing. Zero energy, zero surf. That’s more than a week of flatness.
The only real chance to get wet comes on the morning of Saturday, July 18th at Fuengirola. Swell shows up at about 3ft from the east, period a short 5 seconds, but the wind is light offshore from the WNW, so the surface is clean. The combined energy is weak—33—so don’t expect any power, but it’s surfable. Just keep in mind that crowds will probably show up for anything rideable around here. The water temperature is around 74°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year—feels nice.
After that, Sunday and Monday fade back to tiny, onshore slop. So that Saturday morning is your only real highlight. Bring a groveler, keep the expectations low.
For most of the two weeks, the conditions look better for kite surfing than paddle surfing—clean, steady breeze on a flat ocean.
The forecasts can always change, but right now 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.
