The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are a tough watch for surf around Fuengirola. We’re staring down a real flat spell, and honestly, there’s nothing here that gets the heart racing. The water’s sitting at about 73°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year, nothing weird there.
The first proper chance at anything rideable isn’t until Saturday, September 12. The morning shows a pulse of 4ft swell from the east, with a period around 6 seconds. That’s a short-period, weak windswell, and the combined energy is moderate (208). It’s small and a bit jumbled, with a gentle cross-shore breeze that won’t help much – expect slight chop. Not a standout, just a maybe for a longboard if you’re desperate.
Sunday, September 13, cleans up a little in the morning as the wind drops out and goes cross-offshore from the NNW. Swell drops to 3ft from the east-southeast, still short period. The energy is weak (51). It’s clean but tiny. Again, not a session to write home about.
The only window that looks even half-interesting is the morning of Saturday, September 19. Glassy conditions, flat calm, with a 3ft east swell and a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy bumps to a moderate 123, which is something. It’s still short period and small, but glassy means the surface will be like a mirror – rare and beautiful. If you’re a beginner or just want to get wet, that’s your shot. The swell’s not big enough to worry anyone.
After that, it fades back to nothing. There’s a bit of a bump on Sunday, September 20, with 3ft from the east and a slightly longer period of 7 seconds (energy 106), but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Not worth the paddle.
In short, no standout days. Everything is small, weak, and mostly messy. The best wave quality on offer is the 19th morning – it’s clean, calm, and tiny. That’s all we’ve got. Hang in there, forecasts can change.
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.
