The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. Let me level with you—this 16-day stretch for Fuengiengirola is a tough one. I've scanned the charts and honestly, there's nothing really on the cards for a solid paddle. The water is sitting at 81°F which is a whopping 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so you'll be sweating in the lineup, but there's just no swell to speak of.
From Friday the 21st of August all the way through to the end of the month, it's a flat spell. We're talking tiny dribbles of energy. The combined energy reading is basically zero (0) for the first weekend, and even when we see a few readings of 1 or 2 for the swell energy, it's coming from the east at a weak 0.3ft to 1.0ft and a period of just 6 seconds or less. That's windswell junk, not groundswell. The winds are mostly light and cross-off or glassy at times, which would be mint if there was anything to ride, but there isn't. It's like having a perfect offshore wind over a parking lot.
By the 29th of August (Saturday morning), we see a tiny bump to 2ft from the east with a period of 5 seconds, but the wind turns cross-onshore, making it a messy 2ft dribble. Combined energy only hits 12 – still weak as dishwater. It's not worth the wetsuit. This pattern of tiny, weak, short-period surf continues right into the first week of September. The 30th of August has a bit of 1ft east swell, but it's onshore wind, so it's a no-go. The 31st of August has a 1.0ft east swell but light cross-off winds, and the energy is 7 – still pretty much nothing.
The only slight glimmer I can see is way out on Saturday the 5th of September morning. We get a tiny 0.7ft from the east (3-second period), light cross-off wind, and a combined energy of 1. That's not a surf, it's a ripple. If you're a beginner who just wants to sit on a board and feel the water, you might find something on the 23rd of August Sunday morning when it's glassy, but there's zero swell (0 energy). Honestly, this is a blank run. The area is usually fairly consistent, but this 16-day window is a bust for any kind of decent wave. It's a full 16 days of "poor surf conditions" according to the data. For kitesurfers, the stronger cross-off winds on the 24th and 26th of August might offer a bit of fun, but for paddle surfing, the board stays in the car.

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.
