The Lowdown
Alright, grab your log, I’m Rusty. Let's talk about what’s happening on our shores.
Look, it's pretty grim out there for a while. I gotta be straight with you – the 16-day window has got a massive hole at the start. We are looking at day after day of nothing but flat conditions and poor surf. From the 29th of August right through until the start of September, it’s just tiny, weak bumps with no energy. You’re better off cleaning your wetsuit or waxing a board you won't use. This stretch is as quiet as it gets, with the combined swell energy barely registering a pulse (values as low as 1 and 2). The water is about average for the time of year, so no excuses there.
Things get a little less terrible, but only just, from Tuesday the 1st of September. We’ll start to see some tiny 0.4m (that's about 1ft) windswell from the East. The energy is still super weak, coming in at just (8) on that first Tuesday. The period is only 4 seconds – that’s just wind chop. Not worth a paddle.
Honestly, the best the whole stretch has to offer, and I’m scraping the barrel here, is Fuengirola. If we look right to the end, on Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th of September, we get the highest energy of the whole run. On the morning of the 11th we get the best conditions: glassy, clean, with that 1ft East swell. The combined energy nudges up to (15), which is at least something. The period stretches to 6 seconds – not a groundswell by any means, but better than the 3-second dribble we’ve been staring at. The swell direction is from the East, and this spot likes it from the ESE, so it's in the right ballpark. It is a beginner-friendly wave, so don't expect any heavy tubes, but for the first time in two weeks, you could actually catch a wave without it totally flat-lining. Because it’s a beginner spot and fairly consistent, you might have some company out there.
The rest of the second week, from the 8th onwards, is just more of the same: tiny, weak, and unremarkable. The 12th and 13th drop back down to nothing again. There is just no stand-out swell on the horizon.
So, my advice? If you're desperate, mark your calendar for the morning of Friday the 11th of September. Get down to Fuengirola for a glassy, clean session on that tiny East swell. It’s the only thing that even gets close to a recommendation. Otherwise, maybe dust off the fishing rod.
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.
