The Lowdown
Alright, let me have a look at what's cookin' for Fuengirola over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty flat and quiet stretch for quite a while. We've got nothing worth paddling out for from now until the 12th of August. That's a long, dry gap, so don't be holding your breath. Most of that time is just clean, glassy water with no swell to speak of, but those first couple of days on the 30th of July are tiny, weak windswell and not worth getting wet for. The water is sitting at 70°, which is a fair bit colder than usual for this time of year – a solid three and a half degrees off, so you'll feel the chill.
The only real chance for a wave comes right at the very end of the forecast window. On the morning of Friday the 14th of August, we finally see a proper pulse of energy. The swell is coming from the east, pushing in at 7ft with an 8-second period. The combined energy hits a strong 1094 in the morning, building to 1527 by the afternoon. But here's the catch – for a beginner-friendly spot like Fuengirola, that's way too much juice. It's an expert-only affair at that size, and with the wind coming from the east, it's going to be cross-onshore, which will chop things up. The afternoon gets even bigger, up to 8ft, and while the guidance says wind and tide are favourable, the swell is just too big for this break to handle properly for the average surfer.
So, the standout? There isn't one, really. The session on the 14th is the only wave in town, but it's not a user-friendly wave. For a spot this consistent, a run of flatness like this is unusual, but it happens. Let's hope the forecasts change.
