The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this out there. Honestly, it’s looking pretty flat and bleak for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing to get excited about, so don’t be in a rush to wax up just yet. We’re looking at a good ten days or more of basically no swell, just tiny wind slop at best. It’s one of those times when you just gotta find something else to do.
The first whisper of anything shows up on Monday the 10th, but it’s a joke. We’re talking ankle-high east-nugget swell with a period of 6 seconds. That’s barely a ripple, and the energy is weak. You’d be wasting your time. That pattern of almost nothing continues through the week with the same tiny, short-period waves. It’s all poor surf conditions, no matter how clean the morning glass might be. The Friday morning of the 14th is glassy, but there’s just no swell to push in.
We finally see a little bump in energy around Wednesday the 19th. The swell pushes up to around 2 feet, but the period is still a weak, crumbly 5 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, and the energy, while it jumps into double digits, is still weak. It’s not going to offer anything rideable for a real surfer. The onshore wind that afternoon isn't helping either. It's a poor outlook.
If you look at the whole picture, everything is steering towards a big fat zero for the entire 16-day window. The largest swell we see is that 2 feet bump on the 19th and again on the 22nd, but it’s all junk. The period never gets above 6 seconds.
Given the complete lack of swell, near-constant lack of quality, and the fact that Fuengirola is a beach setup, if the wind really blows from the southwest as forecast on the 17th (22 mph), that might be more interesting for the kite crew than for us paddle surfers.
There are simply no good surf options in this window. The spot here, Fuengirola, is "fairly consistent" usually, so this flat spell stands out. But it happens. Don't lose hope, these forecasts can change, but as it stands right now, keep the board in the car and the wax in the drawer.

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.
