The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’re looking at a pretty flat run ahead for Fuengirola. The next 16 days are a real struggle for surf, so don’t be getting your hopes up too high. The water temp is sitting about 74°F which is pretty normal for this time of year - nothing unusual there.
The first few days, from Friday 24 July right through to Tuesday 28 July, are a total write-off - no real swell to speak of, just none. You’ll be staring at a lake. From Wednesday 29 July we finally see a little pulse appear. The morning brings a tiny 3ft easterly swell with a period of 7 seconds and the combined energy is a weak 75, so it’s small and weak. But the wind is absolutely glassy, calm as can be, so the surface will be like a mirror. That afternoon the swell tickles up to 4ft from the east, period still 7 seconds, and the energy jumps to moderate levels (212), with glassy conditions again. This is the one standout window in the whole outlook - clean, tiny, but maybe a few fun closeouts for the loggers if you’re desperate.
Thursday 30 July is still glassy but the swell drops back to 3ft in the morning (energy 94) and 3ft in the afternoon (energy 59). Ordinary conditions, just small and clean. After that, it fades fast. From Friday 31 July onward the swell is practically non-existent, with tiny 2ft or less and periods under 7 seconds. The energy drops to weak numbers. By early August, it’s mostly flat again with just a few ripples.
The best on offer is that Wednesday 29 July afternoon session at Fuengirola (Spain). The east swell will be a touch under 4ft, glassy wind, and the water is normal for the season. It’s not going to blow your mind, but if you need a paddle, that’s your window. Crowds are possible there, so expect a few other hopefuls. For the rest of the period, honestly, setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if there’s any wind.
Keep an eye on the forecasts - things can change, but right now we’re looking at a long dry spell.
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.
