The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the local surf scene for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple for the better part of the opening week. The water is sitting at 77°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing to get excited about.
From Sunday the 16th right through to the end of the week, it’s pretty much flat. The odd little knee-high slop might show up, but it’s all tiny, short-period windswell with nothing behind it. The combined energy is negligible (1 to 68), and the wave comment is consistently "poor surf conditions." Honestly, you’d be better off getting a tan or taking the kite out if the wind picks up later in the week.
We finally see a little pulse of life starting on Friday the 28th. The morning of the 28th is clean, but it’s only 2 ft of E swell with a period of 7 seconds. The afternoon picks up a bit to 4 ft, but the wind swings onshore, making it choppy. The energy is moderate (174), but it’s not going to be a fun paddle.
The real standout, the one to mark on your calendar, is Monday the 31st of August. The morning session is the pick of the entire 16-day window. It’s an offshore wind from the WNW, creating glassy, clean conditions. The swell is a solid 6 ft from the East, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is strong (630), so there’s plenty of push. This is the best on offer, but with that size, it’s getting a bit too big for beginners. For the experienced crew, this is your morning. The afternoon looks a bit messier with a cross-offshore wind, but still a solid 6 ft (553 energy).
So, to sum it up: a whole lot of nothing for the first 12 days, then a promising window at the very end. The 31st is the one to chase.
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.
