The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for Fuengirola. We've got a long stretch of 16 days ahead, and to be honest, it's a bit of a tough watch. The surf is going to be very small and mostly poor for the vast majority of the period. We're looking at a significant gap in any real quality surf from today, the 19th of August, all the way through to the end of the month. There's a little pulse of energy showing up around the 29th of August, but even that's not looking like much of a winner.
The first real hint of something to ride comes on the morning of Friday the 28th of August. We'll see a tiny swell, about 3.3ft, coming out of the East. The combined energy is weak, sitting at just 74 (moderate wave energy), and the period is a short 5 seconds, so it's weak wind swell. The wind is cross-onshore from the ENE, so it's going to be a bit choppy. It's a step up from the flat spell, but it's still rated as poor surf. Not the day to get excited.
The best chance you'll get in this whole 16-day window lands on Saturday the 29th of August. We finally see a little bump in size. The swell comes in at 3.6ft out of the East, with a period of 7 seconds and a combined energy of 120 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a light cross-shore from the NE, which is a big plus. It's not perfect, but it's the cleanest we'll see it. The waves will be small and weak, so it's a beginner-friendly 3.6ft swell. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. This is as good as it gets, but it's still not a standout by any stretch. The swell direction from the East is a direct match with the optimum for Fuengirola, which is a positive.
After that, the energy drops off fast. By Sunday the 30th of August, we're back to 2.6ft and fading. The rest of the forecast into early September looks flat again, with tiny, unsurfable waves. It's a long, dry run for the majority of the forecast. Consider this a good time to check the gear and wait for the next proper swell.

A general guide to surfing at Fuengirola can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
