The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening in the water over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch for anyone looking to paddle out. We’re looking at a pretty long dry spell with no real surf to speak of for the first five days. From Sunday the 19th right through to Thursday the 23rd, it’s flat. Nothing. Zero. You’re not missing a thing.
The first whisper of something comes on Friday morning the 24th. A tiny 1ft swell from the ENE, with a short period of 3 seconds. The combined energy is basically nothing (3), and while the wind is light offshore from the NW, keeping the surface clean, the wave is gutless. It’s really just a ripple. That afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it gets choppy. Not worth a look.
Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are even smaller. We’re talking 0.7ft to 1.0ft of weak, short-period bump. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross or cross-on. The wave energy never gets above 5. It’s just not surf.
The pattern continues into the next week. From Monday the 27th all the way through to Saturday the 2nd of August, the swell is tiny. The best you’ll see is 1ft on the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August, with a light cross-off breeze, but with a period of just 4 seconds, it’s not going to hold any shape. The combined energy is still very low (6).
There is a tiny glimmer on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning shows a 1ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 4 seconds, and a light offshore wind from the North. The combined energy ticks up to 9, which is still weak, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The surface will be clean, but don’t expect much more than a knee-high bump.
The only break in the forecast is Fuengirola. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thick suit. The break is a beginner spot, and it’s fairly consistent in terms of it being a wave, but there’s just no size or power in the forecast. With the swell being this small and short-period, and the optimum swell direction being ESE, a tiny 1ft bump from the ENE isn’t going to do much here.
Forget the board for now. The conditions are more suited for a swim or a cold drink. It’s a blank run, which is normal for this area during a flat spell, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.
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.
