The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The outlook for Fuengirola is, well, pretty flat. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves for the next couple of weeks. There’s a small window of slightly better surf right at the start, but don’t expect anything epic.
The water temp is sitting around 74°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The week kicks off on Monday the 27th with nothing doing – just some tiny 0.7ft windswell from the east, a 3-second period, and weak energy (2). It’s a cross-shore breeze, but the waves are too small to bother. Tuesday the 28th is where it gets a little interesting. The morning is still poor, but by the afternoon, we get a glassy 3ft wave from the east with a 7-second period and moderate energy (92). It’s surfable, but just ordinary. Wednesday the 29th is your best bet for the whole forecast. Both morning and afternoon are glassy, with 3ft and 3ft from the east, 7-second periods, and energy up to 72. It’s small, clean, and a beginner’s dream for a gentle cruise. Glassy conditions are a major plus, so the surface will be smooth.
After that, it dries up fast. From Thursday the 30th onward, the swell drops to 2ft or less, and the energy plummets. By the 1st of August, we’re looking at 1.0ft waves with barely any energy (6). From the 4th of August onward, there’s a solid gap of no surf at all – days with zero wave height recorded. This flat spell lasts right through to the 11th of August, with only a tiny blip of 0.7ft on the 6th and 7th.
Fuengirola is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break, but this run is a real bummer. The only standout is Wednesday the 29th, with those glassy, clean conditions. It’s small, but it’s the best on offer. If you’re a beginner, that’s your window. For everyone else, it’s a long wait.

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.
