The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again with the same outlook, but in feet and miles for ya. Let’s start with the bad news—this Fuengirola forecast is rough. There’s a dry spell right off the bat with no surf worth mentionin’ from now through Friday the 18th. That’s about three days of flat or blown-out nothing.

Saturday the 19th shows a pulse, but it’s a tease. Morning brings a 5ft easterly swell with a short, weak 6-second period, combined energy of 148 (weak). Cross-onshore wind ruins it. Afternoon drops to 4ft even worse.

Sunday the 20th is the one day that might get your attention, but it’s a beast. Morning swell hits 7ft from the east, 7-second period, with combined energy at 744 (strong). Problem is, the notes say it’s predicted to be too big for this break, and with cross-onshore wind it’s gonna be a dangerous, messy wall. Expert only, and even then, not pretty. Afternoon drops to 5ft, still poor.

Monday the 21st: 7ft morning swell, 7-second period, energy 633 (strong). Marginal tide conditions and cross-onshore wind keep it ugly.

Best chance in the whole stretch is Sunday the 27th of September. I know, it’s a week and a half out, so don’t bank on it. Morning offers a tiny 2ft easterly swell, 6-second period, combined energy of just 38 (weak). But the morning is clean with barely a ripple. For a beginner or anyone who just wants a clean, small wave, that’s your window. Winds stay light all day.

After that, it flatlines again from the 28th through the end, with glassy mornings but zero swell. First of October gives a 1ft blip but that’s it. No standout sessions here. Water temp is about average for this time of year.

Take it easy,
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.
