Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough one for Fuengirola. The outlook for the next couple of weeks is looking pretty flat, with barely a ripple of real swell showing up. We're looking at a long stretch where there’s not much to get excited about, starting from now. There’s a gap of several days here where there are no real surf recommendations, just tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. The first record kicks off on July 6th, and it’s a no-go.
So, let's break it down day by day.
Starting Monday the 6th, we’ve got a tiny 1ft to 2ft easterly swell, but it’s spoilt by onshore or cross-shore winds. Combined wave energy is weak, sitting at just 11 on the Monday morning. These are poor surf conditions, and honestly, not worth paddling out for.
Tuesday the 7th is much the same, with the swell dropping to 1.0ft from the ESE and energy falling to 4. Winds are a mix of cross and onshore again, so it’s still messy.
Wednesday the 8th sees the swell shrink to 0.7ft from the east, with energy down to 1. The wind is cross-shore in the morning, turning cross-onshore in the afternoon. The surf is basically flat by the afternoon.
Thursday the 9th offers a moment of calm—it's glassy in the morning with no swell at all. The afternoon picks up a bit of cross-shore breeze but still no rideable surf.
Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th are similar: tiny 0.7ft swells from the SSW, with clean, glassy conditions on the Saturday morning. The combined swell energy is only 1 or 2 though, so we’re talking about waves that are barely there.
There’s a slight flicker of hope on Sunday the 12th. We get a 1.0ft easterly swell with offshore WNW winds in the morning at 6 mph, making for clean conditions. The period is a short 5 seconds. Combined energy climbs to 4. It’s still tiny, but if you’re desperate for a splash, the morning might offer a couple of knee-high rollers before the wind swings SW and picks up to 16 mph in the afternoon. The afternoon energy is 5, but that wind is strong.
After that, it’s more of the same for the second week. From Monday the 13th onwards, we see tiny 0.3ft to 1.0ft easterly swells with clean conditions at times, but the energy is minimal—mostly between 1 and 3. There are periods of offshore NW winds which keep the surface tidy, but there's just no power behind the waves.
All in all, this is a pretty lean run. Fuengirola is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent beach break exposed to the ESE, but when the swell window goes quiet like this, it can be a long wait. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so at least it’s comfortable for a swim, but for wave riding, you’re better off keeping an eye on the charts and waiting for the next pulse.
Hang in there.

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.
