The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the surf over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty quiet picture for this region. We’ve got a long stretch of flatness or really weak, choppy conditions ahead. The first real sniff of anything rideable doesn’t show up for over a week.
We start with a long, dry spell. From now and all through the first week, it’s a bust. There might be a tiny, knee-high wave here or there, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the combined wave energy is barely registering, often under 100 (weak energy). The water temperature is sitting average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first time things start looking a little more interesting is around Saturday, the 19th of September. There’s a pulse of swell arriving, with heights around 5ft to 5ft from the East. The combined energy jumps up into the 200-400 range (moderate energy). The period is a fairly short 7-8 seconds, so it won’t be the cleanest groundswell, but it’s actual surf. The catch is the wind is forecast to be light and variable, sometimes cross-shore, but also occasionally straight onshore. It’s listed as marginal, not a total loss but you’ll have to pick your bank and tide.
The best chance, the real standout to point your board at, is that Saturday morning, the 19th. The swell is 5ft from the ESE, and with a light NNE cross-shore, the surface might just clean up enough to be fun. The wave energy is moderate (238), so there’s something to push you around. It’s pushing chest to head-high, so it’s a bit much for absolute beginners, but more of a solid fun size for anyone else.
Sunday the 20th afternoon shows similar size but with more onshore wind. The end of the second week looks like it fades back into small, weak, and onshore mush. For a beginner spot like Fuengirola, it’s a pretty typical wait. The crowds can be a factor here sometimes when it does get a wave, but this swell is small enough that it’ll be spread out. That Saturday morning is your window; get it while it’s there.
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.
