The Lowdown
Right, well, I’ve looked over the charts for the next 16 days and honestly, it’s a tough one for the Fuengirola area. The long and short of it is that there’s just no real swell on the cards. We’ve got a big gap of flatness staring us down.
The first usable surf recommendation doesn’t pop up until the morning of August 11th, and even then, it’s a whisper. Up until that point, from now through August 10th, it’s a complete blank. Nothing. Zero. The water temp is sitting at about 77°F – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at Fuengirola, but that’s small comfort when there’s no waves.
So, let’s get into it. The only real glimmer of something, and I mean *barely* a glimmer, is on Fuengirola. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent beach break, but it’s wide open to the east and needs an ESE wind to be at its best. For the morning of August 11th, we’re looking at a tiny 0.3ft of easterly swell with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is just a weak 1 (one). The wind is light from the north, so it’s glassy, which is a positive. But at that size, we’re talking about ankle-snappers, not surf.
The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off for any proper surf. After August 11th, the swell stays tiny or non-existent, with long periods of glassy, offshore, or cross-off shore winds, but zero wave energy. The best we get is a 1.0ft pulse from the ESE on the morning of August 17th, with a period of just 4 seconds and combined energy of 3. That’s still pathetic. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but that’s not even big enough for a soft-top.
There is no standout period. There is no best day. The setup is so flat that even a kite surfer would struggle to get moving. It’s one of those periods where the forecasts can change, but right now, the outlook is a long, frustrating wait.

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.

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.
