The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's break down the next two weeks for Fuengirola.
To be straight with you, the surf report is pretty grim. Over the whole 16 days, we're looking at wave heights that barely reach 2 ft, with weak energy throughout. There’s a big flat spell right at the start where you won’t even see a ripple.
It begins on Thursday, July 16th with a tiny 0.3 ft easterly bump and minimal energy. The wind is a light cross-off from the west at 6 mph, keeping it clean, but there’s nothing to ride. Friday and the weekend are completely flat—glassy water, but no surf.
The best we get shows up on Saturday, July 25th. The morning brings 1 ft from the east with 11 combined energy, a clean cross-off from the west at 6 mph. By the afternoon it creeps up to 2 ft from the east, combined energy at 21 (still light), with a clean cross-off from the southwest at 12 mph. This is the most promising window, but it's only good for a foam board or a longboard. The swell period is short (6 seconds), so those waves will be weak and unshapely.
After that, it drops back down to tiny stuff into the end of July.
Honestly, don't wax your board yet. The beach setup combined with the breezier afternoons might keep a kite surfer happy, but for a paddle surfer, there’s nothing here. Things can change, but right now it’s a bust.
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.
