The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s get into it for Fuengirola.
Honestly, mate, we’re in for a long, flat spell. The next 16 days look pretty grim for any proper surfing. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t even show up until the very end of the first week, and even then it’s small. We’ve got a big gap of nothing with no recommendations for the first few days, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.
Fuengirola (Spain) – The only spot on the cards, and it’s not giving us much. Water temp is sitting at 66°F, a full 7°F colder than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so bring a thick suit.
The whole forecast is dominated by weak, dribbly easterly swells. Saturday the 3rd of September afternoon sees the first bit of life – a 2 ft easterly swell pushing in, but the period is a short 5 seconds so it’ll be weak and crumbly. Combined wave energy is barely 16. The wind is onshore, so it won’t be clean.
Sunday the 6th of September morning is probably the pick of the entire outlook, and that’s saying something. We get 2 ft of east swell with a 6-second period. It’s not big or powerful, but the wind is dead calm and glassy, which is a major positive for clean conditions. Combined energy is 24 – still weak, but the cleanest we'll see.
After that, it’s back to tiny dribble or flat spells through the second week. A couple of mornings around the 11th and 13th of September show clean or glassy conditions, but with swells of 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft, there’s nothing to ride. On Thursday the 10th of September afternoon, we get a 1 ft easterly, but with a 3-second period and a moderate cross-shore chop it’s junk.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on the afternoons with a bit of wind. There is no standout session here. Save your energy.
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.
