The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty flat stretch ahead. We're looking at a long, quiet spell with almost nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting around 71°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least the swim will be nice.
From now through the end of July, it's a total write-off. Day after day of "poor surf conditions" with combined swell energy barely registering (0 to 5). There's a brief moment on the afternoon of Thursday, July 30th where Fuengirola sees a pulse of 3ft easterly swell with a period of 10 seconds, and the energy jumps to 181 (moderate). The morning session that day is glassy, which would be clean, but the swell is just a short-period windswell. It's surfable, but very ordinary. By the afternoon the wind swings cross-onshore and it's gone again. That's the only real blip on the radar for the whole first week.
Then there's another dead zone until Monday morning, August 3rd. We get a 4ft easterly swell, period still only 6 seconds, with a clean offshore wind from the west at 9 mph. Combined energy is 135 (moderate). It's a step up, but still nothing special. That afternoon the wind kicks up to 19 mph, making it choppy and poor.
So, the standout here is quiet and the forecast is uncertain at this range, but if you're desperate, the morning of Thursday, July 30th offers the only chance of a wave, with glassy conditions over a short, weak 3ft easterly swell. The other one to keep an eye on is the morning of Monday, August 3rd—a cleaner 4ft east swell with offshore winds, but again, short period.
Don't hold your breath. This is just one of those flat summer runs for Fuengirola.
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.
