The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at the charts for our local stretch, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough one. The next 16 days are looking very quiet on the wave front. There’s no real swell to speak of for the entire period, so we’re in for a long, flat spell.

Let’s start with what little we’ve got. The only break on the radar is Fuengirola. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent when there’s something to work with, but that’s the problem. The first few days are the only ones showing any energy at all, and even then it’s barely a ripple.

We kick off on Wednesday, July 29th. The morning will see a tiny 2 ft swell from the east, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 38, so there’s hardly any power. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, about 2° off the average. The good news? The wind is glassy from the northeast at 3 mph, making it clean. But the waves are just too small to get excited about. By the afternoon, a light cross-onshore breeze messes it up a little.

Thursday, July 30th, is even smaller—1.0 ft in the morning with glassy conditions again, but it’s just not enough. The rest of the week fades out quickly. By Friday, July 31st, we’re down to 0.7 ft, and from Saturday, August 1st onward, the swell numbers turn to dashes and zeroes. The combined energy drops to 1 or 2, sometimes 0. There’s just nothing.

From Sunday, August 2nd, through to the end of the forecast on Thursday, August 13th, the swell height is completely absent. That’s a solid 12-day stretch of flatness. The wind does offer some clean moments—like the morning of August 7th with glassy conditions—but with no waves, it doesn’t matter.

Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The only sliver of a chance was Wednesday morning, July 29th, but even that’s a poor surf condition. For beginners, the swell never gets over 5 ft, so that’s not an issue, but there’s nothing to ride anyway. The short period (6 seconds or less) means the waves that do show up are weak and crumbly. This setup looks more interesting for a flat water paddle than a surf.

For now, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope, but this run is a real blank one for the area.

Stay patient,
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.
