The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the outlook for the next 16 days is a long, flat spell with very little to get excited about. We’re looking at a big gap of nothing from now right through to the end of July, with only a whisper of small surf popping up on the 29th of July. After that, it’s back to flat again. So, let’s not kid ourselves, this is a period for the longboard or the beach towel.
The first real chance of a wave comes on Wednesday, 29th July. Fuengirola might just about be worth a paddle. The morning brings a weak 3 ft swell from the east, with a period of 7 seconds – that’s short period, windswell stuff. The combined energy is a weak 77; it’s not going to win any prizes. The wind is glassy, which is a massive plus, so the surface will be clean. The water is sitting at 73°, which is about average for the time of year. Later that afternoon, it drops to 3 ft east swell, still glassy. It’s surfable, but only just, and it’s very ordinary. For a beginner spot, the size is fine, but don’t expect any power.
After the 29th, it’s back into a flat spell. The 30th and 31st of July have tiny, pathetic waves in the 0.7 ft to 2 ft range, and then from the 1st of August onwards, it’s a big fat zero for several days. There’s a tiny 2 ft east swell on the 4th of August, but with an offshore wind, it’s still too small to be more than a ripple.
Truly, the only standout, and I use that word lightly, is the Wednesday morning, 29th July session at Fuengirola. The glassy wind is the only thing saving it. If you’re desperate for a splash, that’s your window. Otherwise, save your energy.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Fuengirola can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
