The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get down to it. The next couple weeks are gonna be a bit of a battle. We’ve got waves, but they’re gonna be working against us for a lot of it. If you’re thinking about paddling out, you’re going to want to pick your moments.
Looking at La Cicer, that first chunk of the forecast, from Wednesday the 5th through about the 12th, is going to be a write-off. We’ve got NE swell running 5 to 6 feet, but it’s all short-period, right around that 7-second mark. Combine that with a persistent 10 to 15 mph cross-onshore wind, and you’ve got a recipe for chop. The energy is weak to moderate, sitting in the 200 to 400 range. Not worth the hassle unless you like getting beaten up. Water temps are normal for this time of year.
The wind eases a little around the 14th, but the swell is still small and the direction is messy. Then around the 15th and 16th, the swell bumps up to 6 to 7 feet, and the energy gets into the 500s. But again, the wind is still bad – cross-on from the north at 12-15 mph. You’ll have more power, but it will be lumpy and hard to ride. That 8-second period is an improvement, but it’s not the clean, groomed stuff we need.
Now, the standout, if you can call it that, is the 19th. The swell drops to about 4 feet, but the wind drops right off. We get a light north breeze in the morning and it’s looking glassy. For La Cicer, which is very consistent and fairly exposed, that clean, small surf will be the best bet. The energy is weak, only around 200, but it’ll be the only time you get a proper, clean wave. It won't have much push with that 8-second period, but it’ll be a much more pleasant session.
So, for the beginners out there, the 19th is your day. It’s small and clean. For the experts, the 15th and 16th have the size and power, but you’ll be fighting the wind and chop. It’s the classic trade-off. For a beach break, that bigger, blown-out stuff can get pretty unruly. I'd say the 15th and 16th are for the pros, and the 19th is for everyone else.
We’ve got a lot of poor days before that window, so don’t get your hopes up for anything magical early on. Keep it on the radar and pick your session wisely.

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.
