The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Fuengirola. I’ve looked at the next couple of weeks and honestly, it’s a tough stretch. There’s a long, long dry spell before anything even thinks about showing up.
For the first week and a half, we’re staring at a whole lot of nothing. From the 25th of August right through to the 4th of September, the swell is basically flat. We’re talking knee-high dribble at best, with combined energies barely reaching 1 or 2 (weak energy). It’s a grim run of poor surf conditions. You might get a few glassy mornings on the 31st of August and the 2nd of September, but there’s no wave to ride. The water is sitting around 74°F, which is about average for the time of year, so at least a paddle won’t be chilly.
The first real flicker of life comes on the 5th of September. The Saturday morning shows a small pulse of 3ft from the ESE (6 seconds) with clean offshore wind from the NW. It’s not big, but it’s surfable. The combined energy jumps to 43 (weak energy), which is better than we’ve seen. The real standout of the whole window, though, is the Saturday afternoon of the 5th of September. The swell bumps up to 5ft out of the East, with a 6-second period, and we’ve got a nice offshore wind from the West. The combined energy hits 251 (moderate wave energy). That’s the best we’re going to get. The water is still warm, but it’s a fun-size wave for Fuengirola, and the offshore wind will keep it clean. This is beginner-friendly, just under the 5ft mark, so it’s a good one for the learner crew.
Sunday the 6th of September drops off again, with a 2ft ESE swell in the morning and a cross-off wind, but it’s nowhere near the quality of that Saturday session. After that, it’s back to flat, poor conditions for the rest of the forecast. If you’re going to pick a day, that Saturday afternoon is the one. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecasts, but it’s the only real hope on the table.
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.
