The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what we’ve got. Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead for Fuengirola. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. There’s no standout, no hidden gem waiting to fire. The first week is basically a write-off, and the second week doesn’t offer any real hope either.
We start off with a tiny 0.3ft swell on Saturday the 5th, cross-on wind, and energy so weak it’s barely registering (1). The waves are just wind ripples – not worth paddling out for. Sunday the 6th morning goes glassy for a bit, and the swell bumps up to 1ft with a longer wait between sets, but it’s still classified as poor surf. The energy is still weak (8). Monday the 7th has another glassy morning, but again, the swell is tiny and weak.
From Tuesday the 8th onwards, we hit a flat spell. Zero swell, zero energy, for days. The water temperature sits at 70°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll notice the chill if you do get in.
Thursday the 10th afternoon sees a slight pulse: 3ft from the east, but the period is short and the wind is onshore, making it choppy. The energy finally climbs a bit to 47 – still weak. You could maybe catch a small crumbly thing, but you’d be fighting the wind.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak lines. The 11th, 12th, 13th – all the same story. A few inches of swell, poor conditions, no real shape. The 14th and 15th bring clean offshore winds on the Tuesday morning, and the swell is 2ft from the east with a short period. It’s clean, but there’s barely any push to it.
Towards the end of the second week, from the 16th to the 20th, we see some clean cross-offshore winds, but the swell is almost non-existent or completely flat. The energy stays at zero for most of that time. There’s just no love in the ocean.
In short, this is a proper flat spell. If you’re desperate, maybe the Thursday 10th afternoon or the Tuesday 15th morning offer the tiniest chance of a knee-high wobble with clean conditions, but don’t hold your breath. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.

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.
