The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Fuengirola's got cookin' for us over the next couple weeks.
To be straight with you, it's gonna be a quiet stretch. The first proper surfable wave doesn't show until Tuesday the 18th of August, so you're lookin' at a good four or five days of nothin' much before that. Even then, it's not gonna set the world on fire. The break itself is a beginner-friendly spot, exposed to the east, and it's fairly consistent when there's swell around.
The best of what we've got, and really the only window that matters, lands on Tuesday the 18th. Fuengirola sees tiny 3ft of east swell, but that's the biggest we get in the whole run. The combined swell energy is weak, only hitting 65 in the afternoon, but the key detail is the wind. Tuesday morning we've got a light offshore from the west, and by the afternoon a cross-offshore from the southwest. That'll keep the surface clean. It's a surfable wave, but it's gonna be ordinary – think small, weak rollers. The water's sitting at 73°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no shock to the system there.
After that, it's a long, painful fade-out. Wednesday the 19th has a glassy morning but the swell drops back to 1.0ft, and from Thursday the 20th onward, it's mostly flat with just a few ripples of east swell that won't do a thing. From Sunday the 23rd through to the end of the outlook on the 28th, the energy readings are either zero or close to it. There's simply no power behind anything. If you're a beginner and desperate for a splash, Tuesday the 18th is your only real shot, and it's a poor one at that.
Keep your hopes low, and your eyes on the horizon. Things can always change, but right now, it's a tough run.
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.
