The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple for days on end. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until the end of the first week.
We kick off on Monday the 14th with tiny, weak waves. Fuengirola is seeing a small 2ft swell from the ESE, but the wind is a messy cross-onshore, making for poor surf. The water temp is sitting at 71°F, which is pretty average for this time of year. The combined energy is a measly 40, so there’s just nothing doing. This flat spell really sets in from Wednesday the 16th, with a few days of nothing but glassy mornings and small chop – not a single wave to ride.
Finally, by Sunday the 20th of September, we see a pulse of energy. Fuengirola gets a 6ft swell from the East with a moderate 7-second period. The combined energy jumps to 548, which is a solid amount of juice. However, the wind is onshore and strong, so the quality is going to be messy. It’s borderline at best, and really only one for the hardcore on a big board. That swell drops back down by Monday the 21st, still with onshore wind, making it tough going.
Looking further out, the swell fades again into tiny, weak conditions right through the middle of the second week. Thursday the 24th shows a bit of promise with a 5ft swell from the East, but the period is short and the wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll be choppy. The energy is moderate at 223, but with poor conditions flagged, it’s a gamble.
Honestly, there’s no true standout session here. The 6ft pulse on Sunday the 20th is the biggest of the whole window, but the wind ruins it. If you’re desperate, that’s your only real shot, and you’ll be battling the chop. For the rest, it’s a long wait for something clean that never really arrives.
Keep your eyes on the sky, not the ocean. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a tough run.

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.
