The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s happening in your local zone over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, this is a tough run. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window here, but every single session is coming back as poor surf conditions. That’s a straight-up blank run from the 18th of August all the way through to the 2nd of September. Not a single wave worth paddling out for in that entire stretch.
The only break on the radar is La Cicer. It’s a very consistent beginner-friendly spot, fairly exposed to the swell, with the optimum direction coming from the NNW. The problem is, the wind is just never your friend. Day after day, it’s a cross-on breeze from the N or NNE, mostly running at 9 to 16 mph, which is going to chop everything up. A few mornings have a light breeze, but it’s still cross-on, putting little ripples across the face.
The swell itself is there, but it’s junky. You’re looking at waves around 3ft to 5ft for most of the first week, with a short, weak period of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy stays in the moderate range (between 142 and 287), but the quality is just not there. A few mornings late in the month—around the 29th of August and the 1st of September—see the swell bump up to 6ft–7ft, and the energy jumps into the strong range (448 to 553), but it’s still a cross-on mess.
There is no standout day. There is no "best of the bunch." The wind never swings offshore to clean it up. For the beginner crew at La Cicer, the waves are small enough to be manageable, but the chop and onshore angle will make it a frustrating paddle. If the swell spikes above 5ft, as it does around the 28th and 29th of August, it’d only be for the more experienced, but even then, the conditions are poor.
Given the consistent poor quality and the persistent cross-on wind, honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For the surfboard, it’s a write-off.
Hang in there. Forecasts shift, and it never stays flat forever, but this one is a long, dry spell.

Information about the La Cicer Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Cicer provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Cicer can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Cicer 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 (La Cicer) 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 La Cicer 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.
La Cicer is 5 km (3 miles) from Las Palmas. If you plan a holiday in Gran Canaria, look for hotels and other accommodation in Las Palmas. Las Palmas has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
