The Lowdown
Well, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are looking flat as a pancake for Fuengirola. We’ve got a solid two-week stretch with nothing worth paddling out for, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. The water is sitting at a very warm 81°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year—almost like a bath, but with zero waves to enjoy it in.
The first real hint of anything shows up right at the tail end of the forecast, on Saturday the 5th of September. Saturday morning we might see a tiny 2 ft swell from the east, with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of just 18 (weak). That’s not surfable for anyone who wants to actually ride something. By Saturday afternoon, it bumps up to 2 ft from the east, period still 6 seconds, energy climbing to 36 (still weak). But the wind is onshore from the ESE, so it’ll be messy, and the wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” Honestly, that’s not worth your time.
So, the outlook is bleak. Fuengirola’s just not firing in this window. With no consistent swells and hardly any energy, it’s a waiting game. Sometimes these flat spells break, but not this time. Keep an eye on the long-range—forecasts can change—but for now, leave the board at home.
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.
