The Lowdown
Right, grab a seat. It's Rusty.
Alright, looking at the whole 16-day window for Fuengirola, I'm not gonna lie to you—this is a flat spell. We've got a long stretch of hardly anything to get excited about. The first real week is a write-off for surfing, and even when we get a tiny bump in the second week, it's small. It's going to be a long wait for any kind of rideable wave.
Let's get the bad news out of the way. From now, right through until Saturday the 17th of August, we're looking at waves that are barely there. Most mornings you'll see the odd ripple, maybe 1 ft, but the swell direction is from the east, which is not the optimum for this spot. The combined wave energy is a measly 1 to 21, which is as weak as it gets. The wind is often onshore or crosses, and even when it's glassy on the morning of Saturday the 16th, the swell is just too small. Sunday afternoon on the 18th of August is more of the same, with a tiny 2 ft from the east.
The first actual glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 19th of August. We wake up to a 1 ft easterly swell and light cross-offshore winds from the northeast, keeping things clean. It's not big, but for Fuengirola, it's about as good as it's going to get for a while. The water temperature is 74°, which is about average for this time of year.
Then, believe it or not, the standout of the whole outlook is Sunday morning, the 25th of August. We finally get a glassy morning with zero wind and a clean surface. The swell is a flat 0.3 ft from the east, and the combined energy is just 1, but a glassy clean surface off Fuengirola is a rare treat. For a total beginner, it's a manageable, safe little knee-high thing to bob around on. Just keep the expectations super low.
After that, the outlook dries right up into the end of August. Plenty of wind, but no swell to speak of.
So, if you have to get wet, your only real chance is the morning of Monday the 19th of August or that glassy Sunday morning on the 25th. For the rest of it, it's a flat spell. Don't hold your breath.

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.
