The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s going on with La Cicer.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. For the next couple of weeks, La Cicer is locked into a run of poor surf conditions. The waves are there, but the quality just isn't. We've got a persistent northerly wind blowing, often cross-onshore or straight onshore, which is making everything choppy and messy. The swell is coming from the NNE and NE, which isn't the direction we want for this spot. Wave energy is weak, sitting between 126 and 292 for most of the first week, meaning the swell is limp and lacking punch. The period is short, around 6-7 seconds, so it’s just wind chop, not real groundswell. Water temp is sitting at 74°F with a 2°F anomaly, so it’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
From Thursday 30 July right through to Sunday 10 August, every session is rated poorly. The wind shifts around but never gets clean. There are some mornings with offshore wind on the 1st and 2nd of August, but with a 3ft to 4ft, short-period, NNE windswell, it’s not going to produce anything worth paddling out for. The energy is too low and the direction is wrong. On Monday 3 August morning, the swell bumps up to 5ft and the wind is offshore from the NNW, but the period is still a miserable 7 seconds. That’s a messy, fat wall, not a lined-up wave.
There’s a bit more size on the 10th and 11th of August, with swell hitting 5ft to 7ft and energy climbing into the 400s (433-491). That’s moderate energy, but the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore from the N, and the period is still short at 6-8 seconds. That combo just means lumpy, sectiony surf. For a beginner spot like La Cicer, 6ft to 7ft is pushing too big even if it was clean, but with that wind, it’s not a goer.
Honestly, there’s no standout day in this outlook. Not one morning with clean, glassy conditions and a decent swell. This is a blank run. The forecast can always change, but right now, for the next 16 days, I’d save your energy. The break faces the wrong way for this northerly swell train, and the wind won’t let up.
Stay patient, 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.
