The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the long-range look at Fuengirola for you. Let’s be straight with each other – the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a real dry spell. The first few days are a bust with flat conditions. You’re looking at a gap from now, the 26th of July, all the way through to the morning of Monday the 28th of July before there’s even anything on the table that’s worth paddling out for.
On that Monday morning, the surf finally shows a pulse, but it’s not winning any awards. You’re looking at a small 3ft swell rolling in from the ESE. It's the standout window, but don't get too excited – it’s a weak one, with combined swell energy sitting at only 73 (moderate). The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s not going to have much push.
The real highlight is the wind. Both that morning and afternoon are showing glassy conditions. That’s the one true positive here. For a break like Fuengirola, which is for beginners and fairly consistent, clean conditions make a massive difference. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so it’ll feel fine.
That tiny window of tiny, clean surf lasts into Wednesday the 29th, with similar 3ft and 3ft waves from the east, but the energy stays weak, never hitting above 75. After that, we sink back into a long stretch of poor surf from Thursday the 30th of July all the way through to the 10th of August. Everything in that second week is a no-go – flat spells, tiny scraps of swell with energy reading as low as 1 or 3, and hopelessly short periods of 4 to 6 seconds. The swell direction also shifts to the S and SSW, which is poor for this spot.
Honestly, if you’re not a beginner with a longboard and a whole lot of patience, the only thing that looks interesting here for the next 16 days is the kite surfing, given the strong cross-off winds on the 9th and 10th of August. For paddling in, it’s a lean season.
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.
