The Lowdown
Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here. I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for Fuengirola, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The first real surfable wave doesn't show up until the morning of the 4th of September, so we’re looking at a solid 9-day gap with nothing worth paddling for.
The overall pattern is pretty flat. For the first week, the sea is basically a lake. A few tiny ripples from the east on the 26th of August, with a combined energy of just 1 (weak), but it’s crossed up by a SW wind at 30 km/h. That’s a no-go. We get a bit of offshore wind on the 27th morning, but there’s zero swell to go with it. That’s the story for days – glassy mornings, but no pulse of energy.
The water temperature is sitting at 22°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a spring suit.
Finally, around the 4th of September, we get a little bump. The morning of Friday the 4th is the best of a bad bunch, with a 3ft easterly swell and a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is 65 (weak), and it’s breaking in glassy conditions with a light NW wind. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. If you’re absolutely desperate, that’s your window. The afternoon gets a bit cross-onshore and drops back down.
The 5th and 6th of September offer a similar story – small, weak swells around 2ft, with periods of 6 seconds. The 5th has some glassy windows, but it’s still tiny. The 6th is a bit onshore.
After that, it fades back to nothing from the 7th of September onward. The 7th morning is glassy, but the swell is only 1ft. The 8th is similar. By the 9th and 10th, it’s completely flat again.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. For a beginner, even the 3ft on the 4th is small enough to learn on, but it’s not going to get you stoked. For anyone else, it’s a board-floating session at best. The setup is a beach break, and with the small, weak energy, it’s more of a paddle and tan kind of day.
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.
