The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, it’s a pretty grim outlook for the foreseeable future. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions. The first recommendation for a surf doesn’t actually show up for a while, so you’re looking at a solid gap of about 12 days with nothing worth paddling out for. The first real sign of life isn’t until Saturday, the 5th of September, and even then, it’s a bit of a stretch to call it a great day.
The water temp at Fuengirola is sitting right around the average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Let’s break it down. From now until the 4th of September, it’s all tiny dribbles or nothing. We’re talking 0.3ft to 1ft of weak, short-period windswell from the east, with a combined energy reading of 0 to 8 – that’s about as weak as it gets. The wind is mostly light and variable, but there’s no push to the waves.
The closest thing to a standout – and I use that term loosely – is the morning of Saturday, the 5th of September. Fuengirola will see a pulse of swell from the east at 4ft. That’s the biggest we get all period. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s not going to have much grunt, but the combined energy does jump to 160 (moderate energy). The catch? The wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the ENE, which will leave it a bit bumpy and choppy. It’s not a total washout, but it’s not the clean, glassy perfection we dream of.
Sunday morning, the 6th of September, offers a slightly cleaner look with a light cross-shore breeze from the NNE, but the swell has dropped to a pedestrian 2ft. Again, short period.
After that, from the 7th of September onward, it’s back to the doldrums with tiny little waves and no real energy.
So, here’s the bottom line: if you’re desperate, that Saturday morning, the 5th of September, is your best bet. It’s the biggest swell on offer, but don’t expect a world-class session. The rest of the window is a write-off. For a break that’s fairly consistent, this is a dry spell, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, I’d be finding something else to do.
Rusty.

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.
