The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's happening out there.
Honestly, mate, for the next couple of weeks it’s looking pretty flat and bleak for Fuengirola. We’ve got a long stretch of small, messy conditions with not a lot to get excited about. The water's sitting at a warm 73°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least the dip won't be a shock.
The first real flicker of hope doesn't show up until Sunday the 13th in the morning. That early session sees a little bump of 4ft from the E with a 6-second period and combined energy of (227). It's still marginal, with cross-shore winds making it a bit lumpy, but it's the best of a bad lot early on. After that, it drops right off again into nothing for days on end.
There’s a long, quiet gap right through the middle of the week. From the 16th through to the 24th of September, there’s practically no swell to speak of. A few tiny ripples here and there with winds that are mostly onshore or cross-onshore. Not worth paddling out for.
Then, on Friday the 25th of September, we finally get something that might get the heart rate up a little. The morning shows 5ft from the E with a 6-second period and combined energy of (241). Winds are light and cross-shore, so the lineup might actually have a bit of shape to it. It’s still a marginal call, and the period is short, so it won't be a thing of beauty, but it’s the standout window in this entire forecast. The afternoon holds similar size but the wind switches onshore, making it a bit of a mess.
So, if you're desperate for a paddle, Sunday the 13th morning is the earliest chance, but if you can hold out, Friday the 25th morning is your best bet for the biggest, most surfable waves we're going to see. Keep an eye on it, but don't hold your breath.
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.
