The Lowdown
Right, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour for you lot. I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Fuengirola, and honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch. The next 16 days are looking flat and pretty uninspiring for a proper paddle. There’s a big gap of nothing from now until around the 27th of July, so don’t even bother checking the beach for a while.
The first tiny flicker of life shows up on the morning of Monday, 27 July. We’re talking about a tiny 0.7ft swell from the ESE with a period of just 3 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 1 (weak), and the wind is a light cross-shore from the NNE. It’s not really surfable. That afternoon, it gets a little bigger to 1ft from the East, but the period is still a short 4 seconds, and the breeze turns onshore, so it’s just messy.
The best of a bad bunch, and I’m using that term loosely, looks like Wednesday, 29 July. The morning should be glassy with a 3ft swell from the ESE at a 7-second period. The combined energy bumps up to 73, which is still weak, but that glassy wind is a major positive. It’ll be clean, but the waves are ordinary. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze as the swell drops to 3ft.
Thursday, 30 July, is almost a carbon copy: glassy morning, 3ft from the East, 6-second period, and weak energy (52). It’s more of the same clean but small stuff. After that, it fades back to flatness and poor conditions straight through to the end of the run, with the last tiny blip of 0.7ft on the morning of Saturday, 8 August, which is over a week away and not worth the drive.
The water is sitting at about 74°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
To be honest, for a proper surfer, there’s nothing here that’s a standout. The tiny swell and short periods mean it’s strictly for a beginner hoping to catch a whitewash on a foamie when the wind is glassy. Even then, it’s not going to be memorable. If you’re desperate for a splash, chase the glassy windows on the 29th or 30th, but don’t expect much. For a few days there, with the very small swell and onshore winds, it looks more suited to a kite than a paddle.
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.
