The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Fuengirola is a tough one. We're looking at a real dry spell for any kind of decent surf. The first few days are totally flat, and even when we see a tiny bump of energy, it's barely enough to get excited about.
The forecast shows a long stretch of nothing from the start, right through the 23rd of July. Most days are showing zero swell energy and the wind, while often clean, just has nothing to work with. There's a small pulse of easterly energy creeping in around the 24th and 25th of July, but it's tiny. We're talking about swell heights of 1 foot at best, with a period of 4 seconds. That's windswell at best, and the energy is just a whisper (1-2). The wind is a bit cross-on during that time, so it's not going to be pretty.
Honestly, the only faint glimmer comes on the morning of the 30th of July. We've got a 0.3 foot easterly swell with a period of 7 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the northwest. The setup will be clean, but there's just no power behind it. The combined energy of all swells is a paltry 1. It's a glassy, clean morning for a paddle, but you're not going to be catching much.
For a spot like Fuengirola, this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the summer. It's a consistent beginner spot when there's swell, but it's totally reliant on the Mediterranean sending us something. The water temp is sitting at 71°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least it's warm for your tan.
If you're desperate for a splash, the morning of the 30th of July is your only shot. It's a beginner-friendly wave on a good day, and with the offshore wind, it'll be clean. But don't expect any rides. For anyone with a bit of skill, this is a kite-surfing window if the wind picks up, not a surf one.
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.
