The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's talk shop. It's a bit of a dry spell out there for the next stretch, so let me walk you through it.
For the next week and a half, it's pretty much flat. Don't even bother getting the board off the rack. The water's clean, the winds are light, but there is absolutely zero swell pushing in. It's a classic summer flat calm. We're looking at a good 14 days of just nothing to surf. You'd be better off finding a pool.
The first real sign of life shows up on the morning of the 7th of September down at Fuengirola. It’s still small, a 2ft easterly swell, but the period is finally getting a bit longer. The wave energy is still weak, but at least it's something. The morning is glassy, which is a huge plus for a wave this size. Then, by the afternoon, the swell bumps up just a touch, the energy picks up, and we finally have something that looks like a real wave. The wind stays light, and while it's not perfect, it's the first time in two weeks it's worth paddling out.
If you're picking your moment, make it the afternoon of the 7th. That's your best bet. It's not big, but it's honest. That easterly swell is pushing in at around 2ft, and it's going to be clean. Water temp is sitting around 74°, right where it should be for late summer. It's a friendly size for everyone, too. Just expect some company in the water because this spot can get busy.
After that, the long-range outlook just fades. There might be a few small windows, but nothing is looking certain yet. The signs are finally there, though. Stay patient.

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.
