The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. I’m Rusty, and here’s the story for the next few weeks.
This is one of those tough stretches where the ocean just holds out on you. The first legitimate surf doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 29th of July, a full six days from now. The whole week before that is flat, nothing but poor surf conditions and zero swell. It’s a long, frustrating gap.
The one and only real highlight in this 16-day window hits the afternoon of Wednesday the 29th of July at Fuengirola. The swell comes up to about 5ft, from the ESE, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here reaches 301 (moderate, but the best we’ll see). The wind goes completely glassy, dead calm, which means the surface will be clean and smooth. For a beginner break, this is a rare moment where everything lines up. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing wild. Crowds are possible, so don’t expect total solitude.
The morning of the 29th is alright too, with 3ft and glassy conditions, but the energy is weak (50). The afternoon is the real bet.
After that, it fades quickly. The morning of the 30th of July has 3ft but only 94 energy (weak), and the wind turns onshore, so it’s not worth it. From the 31st of July through the 7th of August, it’s a slow slide back into tiny, knee-high slop and finally flatness again. The second week has nothing to offer.
So, here’s the call: your only real chance is the afternoon of Wednesday the 29th of July at Fuengirola. Glassy, clean, a little waist-high bump. That’s the whole package.
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.
