The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. The outlook for our little corner of the coast is, for the most part, a flat spell. We're looking at a long, drawn-out run of tiny, weak surf that’s going to test your patience. The water is running cold too, at 69°, which is nearly four and a half degrees cooler than usual for this time of year – you’ll feel that sting.

Forget about getting a decent wave for the next week or more. From Wednesday the 2nd right through to Monday the 14th, it's a ghost town. The swell is barely cracking 1ft, the energy is weak (struggling to hit double digits on the energy scale), and the periods are short, mushy windswell. Sure, there are a few glassy mornings early on, like Wednesday the 2nd and Friday the 4th, with a light offshore breeze, but with a 1ft wave with 5-second period, it's just not worth paddling out for. Even the few afternoons that get a bit of onshore wind just mess up the tiny ripples. This is a solid 9-day stretch with nothing on offer.

Around Tuesday the 15th, things start to nudge. There's a little bump of energy, with the combined energy hitting 22, and the swell could push up to 2ft from the East with a 5-second period. That’s still a short-period, weak little wave, but it's the best we'll see. The wind is a light cross-shore in the morning, which might clean it up a touch. It’s not good, but it's the only game in town.

Honestly, if you're desperate, Fuengirola's beach break is your only option, but it’s a beginner-level wave at best and you'd be fighting for scraps. The crowds can show up here, but with this lack of swell, it won't be an issue. For anyone with a shred of experience, save your energy. The whole setup is so weak and poor, it looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle. We're in a bit of a lull, and for this area, a blank run like this is more normal than you'd hope.

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.
