The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Fuengirola.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. We're looking at a long, painful stretch of flat or near-flat conditions. For the vast majority of this 16-day window, you're gonna be staring at a lake. There's a good 15 days of nothing worth paddling out for, from the start of the period all the way through to the 4th of September. The only sliver of hope, and it's a real slim one, comes right at the very end.
The one and only time we see any real pulse of energy is on the morning of Saturday, the 5th of September. Now, this isn't gonna be a day for the history books, but it's the only show in town. Fuengirola itself will be the spot. We’re looking at a tiny little 3 ft swell pushing in from the east, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined swell energy is a weak 45, so it's not packing much punch. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The big saving grace here is the wind. It's forecast to be absolutely glassy, calm as a millpond. That means the surface will be perfect, and those small, weak waves will be as clean as they can possibly be. For a beginner-friendly break like Fuengirola, which is fairly consistent when there's swell, this is actually your best bet. The optimum swell direction is from the ESE, and we're getting close to that with a straight east swell.
Don't expect any power, and don't expect any long rides. The period is short, so it'll be a bit of a bumpy, crumbling wave, but for a longboard or a funboard, on a glassy morning, you might just get a few fun little rides. The crowds are listed as "sometimes," so at a spot this size, expect a few other desperate souls out there with you.
For the rest of the forecast, it's a total drought. The wind is often offshore or cross-off, but that doesn't matter when there's absolutely no swell to push. It's a classic, frustrating summer flat spell. Hopefully, the forecasts change, but for now, mark your calendar for the 5th, and get your gear ready for a glassy, small-wave session.

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.
