Fuengirola

📍 Local Knowledge

Fuengirola in Andalucia is an exposed beach break with fairly consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Offshore winds from the west-northwest help clean the waves, but there is no shelter from cross-shore breezes. The short fetch results in mostly windswells rather than groundswells, with the ideal swell direction from the east-southeast. The beach break offers both left and right hand waves and is surfable at all tide stages. It can get somewhat crowded at times. Surfers should watch out for rips and rocks. The best month to surf Fuengirola is November.
