The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a yarn about what's coming up at La Cicer. Straight off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – there's not a lot of love in the forecast for the next two weeks. The swell is there, no doubt about it, but the wind is the real party pooper here.
We're starting off with a bit of a dud. A north-northwesterly swell of 6ft rolls in on Monday afternoon, the 24th of August. The combined wave energy is moderate at 750, but that north-northeast cross-on breeze at 9 mph is going to mess it up. The water's sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s something. The rest of that first week and into the next, from the 25th through to the 1st of September, is a tough watch. We see swells from the north and north-northeast ranging from 2ft right up to 6ft, but that same cross-on wind from the NNE is just relentless, making for poor surf conditions. It's a lot of chop and not much fun.
Then we hit Wednesday the 2nd of September. The swell jumps up to 8ft from the north-northeast. The combined energy is a very strong 952 on the Wednesday morning and a whopping 1043 that afternoon. But listen, that's some serious power, and with a period around 8-9 seconds, it's a bit short-period. More importantly, that NNE cross-on wind is still howling at 16 mph. That makes for choppy, messy conditions. This is going to be a handful for everyone. At this size, it's for experts only, and the onshore wind is going to make it a battle. Honestly, with that much wind and swell, this setup might look more interesting for the kite surfing crew than for a paddler.
There is one tiny glimmer right at the end of the run. On Sunday, the 6th of September, we get a morning session with a 8ft swell from the north-northeast (combined energy a strong 807) and the wind shifts to a north-northwesterly offshore at 9 mph. The report calls it a "marginal surf forecast", but that offshore wind on that size swell is a major positive. It's the cleanest the place is going to look in the whole 16-day window. This one is a promising highlight but it's quite a way out, so don't lock it in just yet.
All in all, it’s a pretty bleak run. A lot of wind and messy surf. If you *have* to get wet, keep an eye on that Sunday the 6th.
Rusty.

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.
