The Lowdown
Gather 'round, surfers. Rusty here. I've been staring at the charts for La Cicer, and I've got to be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for a decent paddle. There's swell, sure, but it's all wrong. The wind is a constant problem, and the wave quality is rated as poor for the entire period. The first good surf recommendation? There isn't one. Not a single window escapes the "poor surf conditions" tag. That's a long, dry gap from now all the way through to the 15th of August.
Right from the start, Friday the 31st of July, we see a 4ft NNE swell hitting La Cicer, but it's short-period stuff at 7 seconds and the wind is a cross-on from the NNE at 9 mph. The water's sitting at 74°, pretty much average for the time of year. The combined energy is moderate (217), but it doesn't matter because the wind has it chopped up. It's a similar story for the first week of August. We get a little bump in size on the 3rd of August, with a 5ft NNE swell and a period of 6 seconds, but again, the wind is onshore or cross-on, and the surf is just poor. The energy climbs a bit, hitting 227 (moderate), but it's ugly.
The second week doesn't offer any relief. The swell builds – by the 6th of August we're looking at 6ft NNE swell, and by the 13th of August it's up to 6ft. The combined energy gets strong, hitting 412 on the 13th of August morning and even 585 on the 14th of August morning. But the wind remains a stubborn onshore or cross-on breeze from the N or NNW, 12-16 mph. The period stays short, 7 seconds, so it's just a messy, choppy ocean. The size does get up to 8ft by the 14th of August, which is expert territory, but with the wind and short period, it's not even good for the pros. It's just a washing machine.
Honestly, for a spot that's a fairly exposed beach break, with this much onshore wind and short-period swell, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The waves will be there, but they won't be rideable for a surfer. It's a blank run, and it's a long one. Don't hold your breath, but forecasts can change.
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.
