Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for our local stretch.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough start. The next few days are pretty much a write-off for any real surfing. We’re looking at tiny, weak waves and a whole lot of nothing. The combined energy is barely a whisper with values like 1 (weak energy). You’d be better off cleaning the wax off your board or just having a swim. This flat spell hangs around for a good while, with no real surf on offer until we get towards the end of next week.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Saturday, 24 July. We’ll see a tiny bump in swell, with waves around 3 ft from the East. The energy finally climbs into a moderate range at 66 (moderate wave energy), and with a period of 6 seconds, it’s a weak windswell. The wind is light from the NE, but it’s cross-shore, so it won’t be perfect. It’s small and a bit messy, but it’s something to paddle for.
The standout for the whole period, if you can call it that, is the Tuesday morning, 21 July. It’s a bit of a weird one because the swell is still tiny at 2 ft, but the conditions are just magic. The wind is glassy – dead calm – and the wave comment says “glassy”. You’ll be out there on a longboard, soaking up the morning calm. Sure, the waves are small, but for a clean, peaceful session, that’s the one to circle. The water at Fuengirola is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, coming in at 74°, so you won’t need a wetsuit.
As we push into the second week, the pattern doesn’t change much. There’s a consistent run of tiny East swell from 20 July, but it’s all under 3 ft. The best of that bunch is the Thursday morning, 23 July – another glassy morning with 2 ft swell from the East. The energy is a bit higher at 25 (moderate wave energy), but it’s still a marginal day. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean, but don’t expect any power.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there’s nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. It’s a long stretch of flat to tiny surf. For a beginner, some of those glassy mornings with 2 ft to 2 ft waves will be fun to learn on, but for anyone looking for a proper wave, you’re out of luck. The best advice is to keep an eye on the forecast – things can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
