Alright, let’s get into it. Things have been pretty flat around here for a while, and honestly, it’s gonna stay that way for most of the next week and a half. We’re looking at a long stretch with next to nothing on the cards.
The first bit of real hope pops up on Friday the 24th of July afternoon. We’ll finally see a bump of 2ft swell from the east, with a period around 7 seconds. It’s not much, and the combined swell energy is still pretty weak (44). But with glassy conditions, it’ll be rideable for the patient. It’s a proper long wait for that.
The weekend of the 26th sees a slow build. Saturday morning the 25th has 3ft east swell with a light cross-offshore breeze, making it clean. The energy is still low (70), but it’s the best of the weekend. Sunday the 26th brings a bit more size – 4ft on the morning with clean cross-offshore wind, and the combined energy is moderate (138). The afternoon gets a bit chunkier at 5ft, but the wind picks up to 15 mph, which will make it a bit of a handful.
The standout of the whole run looks to be Monday the 27th of July morning. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds and a solid combined energy of 234. The real winner is the wind – a clean 6 mph offshore from the WNW. That’s going to groom the waves nicely at Fuengirola, which is an exposed east-facing beach. It’s still a beach break, so the 8-second period might make it a bit sectiony, but with offshore wind and that size, it’s the closest we get to a proper session in this outlook. Be aware that 5ft can be a bit much for beginners, but for everyone else, that’s the morning to circle. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.
Overall, it’s been a lean spell and the first real offering doesn’t come until the 24th. But that 27th morning has potential. Hang in there.

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.
