The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Fuengirola over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and quiet stretch ahead. The first week and a half is going to test your patience, with barely a ripple worth getting wet for. We’ve got a long gap from now until around the morning of Thursday, 10th September, where the surf is just too small and weak to bother with. You’ll see a bit of movement, but nothing that’ll get your heart racing.
The first real chance of a wave comes Thursday morning, 10th September. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the ESE, but the wind is messy, cross-onshore, and the energy is still modest at 119. It’s not pretty, and it stays poor through Thursday afternoon, even though the swell pushes to 6ft (302 energy) – the onshore wind kills it.
Then, Friday 11th September is our standout. We’ve got a solid 5ft ESE groundswell in the morning, with a period of 8 seconds and moderate energy (232). The wind goes glassy offshore from the west, so the conditions will be clean. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing crazy there. This is the best you’ll see, but keep in mind, the swell direction is from the ESE and the optimum is ESE, so it’s a good match. By Friday afternoon the swell builds to 6ft (643 energy) but the wind swings cross-shore and the conditions get more marginal. That morning session is your window.
After that, the surf drops off again through the second week. Saturday 12th September has some waist-high leftovers with cross-onshore wind, and Sunday 13th September morning has a small 3ft clean wave (70 energy) but it’s very ordinary. The rest of the run into the middle of the month is tiny and weak. Nothing else stands out.
If you’re a beginner, the 6ft and 6ft swells on the 10th and 11th are going to be a bit much for you, but that Friday morning with the 5ft and glassy wind is your best bet.
Stay patient, friends.

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.
