The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, this is a tough one for Fuengirola. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim, with no real surf to get excited about. Every single time slot is flagged as poor surf conditions, so we're in for a flat spell.
The nearest hint of anything is around Thursday the 10th of September, where we see a tiny bump of 2ft from the ESE, but the wind is cross-onshore and the period is a short 4-5 seconds. The combined energy is weak (12 to 36). It's just not worth paddling out for. The following Saturday the 12th has a slightly bigger 3ft from the ESE, but again, it's cross-onshore with a gentle breeze, making it choppy. The energy is still only moderate at 58.
The best you'll see is on Saturday the 19th of September, where the swell pushes to 3ft from the E with a period of 7 seconds, and combined energy hitting 92 (weak) in the morning and 97 (weak) in the afternoon. But the wind is cross-shore or onshore, so it's not going to be clean. For a beginner spot, 3ft is fine, but with onshore winds, it's a waste.
The water is sitting at 72°, which is 0.9°F below average, so nothing unusual there. Just a normal, warm Mediterranean September.
Honestly, this is a classic Fuengirola flat spell. There's nothing here for a surfer. The setup is a beach, and with these small, weak, onshore waves, it's more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone with a paddleboard. Don't hold your breath; forecasts can change, but this one is stubborn.
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.
