The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – we've got a long, flat stretch ahead on the Costa del Sol. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet for surf, so let's break it down.

For the next week, from Tuesday the 25th of August all the way through to Monday the 7th of September, the swell is basically non-existent. We're seeing a combined wave energy that barely scrapes into double digits, mostly sitting between 0 and 8 (2 to 8). The waves are tiny, from about 0.3ft to maybe 1ft, with short, weak periods of 4 to 7 seconds. The wind, while often light or even glassy, just isn't pushing any decent swell. There's a few mornings with offshore breezes, but with nothing to groom, it's a total no-go. It’s a real bummer, a proper flat spell.

Now, heading into the second week, there's a tiny flicker of hope. On Saturday the 5th of September, we see a slight bump. The morning at Fuengirola looks glassy, with a 1ft easterly swell, period a weak 4 seconds, and energy at 6 (6). Not exactly going to get the heart racing. The afternoon picks up a little, with a 2ft easterly swell and the energy climbing to 25 (25). The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit bumpy. Sunday the 6th is similar – a 2ft easterly swell with a light offshore in the morning (energy 17), which is the cleanest of the bunch, but the period is still a weak 6 seconds.

The best of a poor lot looks like Monday the 7th of September. We've got a 2ft easterly swell, period still only 6 seconds, but the energy is the highest we'll see at 36 (36). The morning has a light offshore wind (NW) which should keep the surface clean at Fuengirola. It's still tiny and weak, but it's the only real option we have. The water temp is pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Honestly, this is a classic Mediterranean summer flat spell. If you absolutely need to get wet, the 7th is your best bet, but keep expectations on the floor. For the rest of the time, you're better off with a different hobby.

Stay patient,
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.
