The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The surf is poor, and the wind is just making a mess of things. We're looking at a solid 10 days of pretty grim conditions starting from Wednesday the 22nd of July. The only break we've got to work with is La Cicer, and it's copping it from the wind almost constantly.
The water temp is sitting at about 73°F, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The story here is all about that onshore wind. From Wednesday afternoon (22 July) right through until the end of the month, we're seeing a moderate to fresh breeze from the north and north-northeast. That's blowing straight across the swell, making it choppy and lumpy. The swell itself is coming from the north-northeast, which isn't the ideal direction for La Cicer; it's looking for a bit more north-west in the swell to really line up. The swell height hangs around 6ft to 8ft for most of that first week, but with that wind, it's just a messy, blown-out wall. The wave energy is moderate at best, hitting a high of 802 on the Sunday morning (26 July), but it's wasted energy with that wind. Don't even think about it for beginners – anything over 5ft with that chop is a handful.
The first hint of a change comes on Saturday the 1st of August. The morning sees a bit of a drop in wind, with a light breeze from the north-northwest. The swell drops to 5ft, and the period stretches to 8 seconds. It's still just a "marginal" call, but it's the first time the wind looks like it might ease off. The rest of the first week of August sees the swell drop right away, down to 3ft by Monday the 3rd, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The wave energy is weak, dropping below 100 on the 4th of August.
Honestly, there's no standout session here. The whole period is a write-off for a clean surf. The swell is there, but the wind is relentless. If you're desperate for a paddle, the morning of Saturday the 1st of August is your best bet, but even then, it's a gamble. The rest of the time, it's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddling one, given the consistent cross-onshore wind and decent-sized, lumpy waves.
Stay tuned, things can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.

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.
