The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for La Cicer.
To be straight with you, this 16-day window is lookin' pretty grim. The first real chance of anything ridable doesn't show up until Wednesday the 19th of August, and even then, it's a long shot. We're talkin' more than a week of waitin' for something that's barely on the radar.
The water temp is sittin' at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a nice bonus, but it won't make up for the lack of waves.
Alright, the one tiny glimmer in this whole spread is on Wednesday morning the 19th of August. The swell's a weak 4 ft from the N with a 9-second period, and the wave energy is low at 284. The wind will be light, blowin' straight onshore from the NW at 6 mph. It's described as "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions," so don't go gettin' your hopes up. It's a beginner-friendly break, but it'll likely be mushy and weak.
Honestly, for the rest of the stretch, from now right through to the end of August, the winds are pretty much always cross-on or onshore, and the surf quality is rated as poor. The swell is there, but it's messy, short-period stuff. The water might be warm, but the ocean's not gonna give you anything clean to work with.
If you're a kiter, this setup looks more interesting than for a surfer. That cross-onshore wind and consistent swell energy (hittin' over 400 in the middle of the run) is gonna be a better time for them than for anyone tryin' to paddle.
So there you have it. A long, dry spell ahead. Hang tight, mate. These things happen. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, I'd say give the board a wax and wait for a better day.

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.
