The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on offer for Fuengirola over the next couple of weeks.
Right out of the gate, I gotta be straight with you – it's looking pretty grim for a while. We're staring down a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions. The first solid run of days with nothing surfs from Monday the 16th right through to Wednesday the 18th, and there are plenty of other dud days scattered around as well. You're going to be waiting a long time for anything decent.
The only time the ocean wakes up is around Sunday the 20th of September. We see a jump in the combined swell energy (576) with a 6ft swell from the east, but the period is a short 7 seconds. That is small, weak, wind-affected slop, and the onshore winds are going to ruin it. Forget it.
Now, if you're patient and a bit mad, the model is hinting at a real pulse of energy arriving right at the very end of the outlook. On Sunday the 27th of September, we get a 6ft east swell at 9 seconds combined energy of 696, and the wind is cross-onshore, so it stays pretty average.
But here is the standout window – hold on to your board. From Monday the 28th of September through Tuesday the 29th, Fuengirola gets absolutely hammered. We're looking at an 8ft east swell on Monday morning (combined energy 1182) with a light cross breeze, and then Tuesday morning it goes glassy with an 8ft east swell and a combined energy of 1487. This is a massive, powerful groundswell. The water temp is 71°, which is pretty average for this time of year. This is expert territory only. The swell height is over 8ft and the period is a solid 8 seconds, so it’s going to be a heavy, powerful wall of water. This spot is a beginner break, so this is going to be wild and way too dangerous for learners. For the experienced guys, it could be the best thing we've seen in a long time, but you need to know what you’re doing.
So, the long and short of it: a whole lot of flat, then a big, mean swell that only the hardcore should even think about paddling out for.
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.
