Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fuengirola over the next 16 days.
G'day, it's Rusty here. Well, this is a bit of a flat spell for the Costa del Sol. Looking at the next 16 days, there's virtually nothing on offer for surf. The data shows a long stretch of tiny, weak waves that just aren't worth paddling out for. The first decent sign of any swell doesn't show up until the 18th, and even then it's barely a ripple.
Let's be honest, the whole 16-day window is a write-off for proper surfing. The best we see is on Saturday the 18th, with a tiny 1ft from the ENE, but the swell period is a short 4-5 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 10-11 (low energy). The wind is glassy in the morning, turning cross-onshore in the afternoon, so it's not even clean for long. Everything else is just flat, with scores of 0 right through the period.
For a spot like Fuengirola, which is an exposed beach break, this is a tough run. The water is a very warm 77° — that's much warmer than usual for this time of year, but there's no surf to enjoy it in. The setup is so small and wind-affected that it's more interesting for a kite session than a proper paddle. With no consistent swell in the forecast, you're looking at a blank run that's sadly normal for this area in summer. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it's a dud.
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.
