La Cicer Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for La Cicer over the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, it’s a patchy run – plenty of days where the wind just won’t play nice, and the swell’s either too small or blown out. But there are a few windows that could give you a clean wave, especially if you pick your moments.

The pattern kicks off with a bit of a lull. Sunday the 13th isn’t worth paddling out – you’ve got a 5ft swell from the NNE but it’s cross-onshore at 15 km/h, making for choppy, poor conditions. No go. Monday the 14th morning shapes up as the first real highlight though. The swell drops to 4ft from the NNE, but the wind swings light offshore from the SW at just 5 km/h, leaving the surface clean. That’s a good window – not big, but rideable and tidy. The combined energy is moderate (287), so there’s enough push for a longboard or a funboard. Water temp is 76°, bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

After that, it turns average again. Tuesday the 15th has small 2ft swell with cross-onshore wind, and Wednesday the 16th drops to 1ft. Not worth it. Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th see the swell jump back up to 6-6ft from the NNE and N, but the wind is howling onshore at 25 km/h, making it a messy, blown-out mess – the combined energy climbs to strong levels (475-775), but the quality is shot. Saturday the 19th is similar, with 5ft swell and cross-onshore breeze. There’s a bit of a lull from the 20th through to the 22nd with small swell and poor winds.

Then, on Friday the 25th afternoon, things start looking up again. Swell from the NNE at 4ft, light offshore breeze from the E at 10 km/h, and the water goes clean. The combined energy sits at 274 – moderate, but the conditions make it surfable. Saturday the 26th morning is probably the standout of the whole forecast. You’ve got 5ft swell from the NNE, light offshore wind from the E at just 5 km/h, glassy conditions, and the energy is moderate (370). That’s a solid morning for a paddle – clean, punchy little waves for a beginner-friendly break. It’s very consistent here, and crowds can show up sometimes, so get in early.

Later on, Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th drop off again. Monday morning the 28th has a tiny 2ft swell from the NW with glassy conditions and no wind – it’s rideable but barely. Not a standout.

So, the best bets: Monday the 14th morning for a clean, small session, and Saturday the 26th morning for the pick of the run – clean 5ft NNE swell with offshore breeze. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too messy. No real big-swell days for the experts, and nothing that’s going to scare a beginner.
