The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks here in Fuengirola. I gotta be straight with you, it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry run with pretty much nothing to get excited about.
The first real hint of any action doesn't show up until Saturday, 30th August, and even then it's tiny. We're talking a pathetic 0.7ft to 1.0ft of swell from the east with a short, choppy period of 3 to 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 2 to 3 (weak energy). It's not worth paddling out for. The water is a very unusual 80°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only interesting thing happening.
The glassy conditions on Monday morning, 31st August, with a 1ft easterly swell at 6 seconds (9 weak energy) will look clean, but it's still tiny. The same goes for the morning of the 1st of September. It's a flat spell, plain and simple.
Now, we finally get a pulse of energy on Friday, 4th September. The morning sees a 5ft easterly swell with a 7-second period, pumping the combined energy up to 344 (moderate wave energy). The wind is forecast to be glassy, which is a major positive. This is the standout of the entire forecast. The easterly direction is a decent match for the optimum swell direction here. The afternoon drops to a 4ft swell from the ESE, still glassy, with energy at 143 (moderate wave energy). This is the best we've got, but it's a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecasts. Fuengirola is a beginner-friendly spot, and this swell is just under the 5ft mark, so it's manageable for most, but it's not a total write-off for more experienced surfers either.
Crowds are likely at Fuengirola when there's any wave, so expect company if you decide to go.
So, the blue sky days are here for a while, but the surf just isn't. It's a real bummer, but that's the way it goes sometimes. The only real chance we have is that pulse on the 4th of September. It's not a world-beater, but it's something.
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.
