The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, and I gotta be straight with you. The outlook for the next 16 days is a total bummer. There's simply no decent surf to speak of.
Starting Wednesday, the 9th of September, we get some tiny, weak swell at Fuengirola, but the wind is all wrong. It's cross or cross-onshore every time, so the waves are chopped up and messy. The combined energy is practically nothing, ranging from 21 to 130 (weak to moderate), so you're getting no push.
We get a couple of glassy mornings around the 15th and 16th of September, but the swell is just a whisper. You're looking at a tiny 0.7ft to 1ft waves with a short period. It's basically flat.
From the 17th of September all the way to the 24th, the models show absolutely nothing. A big, flat gap of about 8 days. There's a faint blip on the 21st of September with some clean conditions, but the swell is too small to even think about.
Fuengirola needs some East or ESE swell, and while we get a hint of that direction, the size and power just aren't there. For now, this stretch is a total write-off. Things can change, but for the foreseeable future, leave the board in the garage.
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.
