The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the only spot on offer: La Cicer. And I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough run. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but there’s not a single standout session in the bunch. The pattern is clear: persistent cross-onshore winds from the north and northeast just wrecking whatever swell is trying to push in. The water temp is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s one nice thing you’ll feel when you’re getting thumped by the chop.
The first few days, from Friday the 4th all the way through to at least Saturday the 19th of September, are all flagged as poor surf conditions. The swell is there, but it’s messy. The wind is almost always cross-on or onshore, and the period is short, mostly between 5 and 8 seconds, so it’s weak, choppy, and lacks any real push. The combined energy builds into the moderate range – hitting 421 (moderate) on the 9th – but it’s all wind-blown junk. The waves are mostly between 3 ft and 6 ft, so it’s not big, but it’s ugly. You’ll be fighting a bumpy surface all day.
There is a small glimmer right at the very end of the run, on Saturday the 19th. The swell drops right down to 2 ft, but it comes from the north with a very long period of 14 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is still moderate (185), and the wind is onshore from the NNW at 15 mph. That long period means the wave shape will be super clean and lined up, but the size is tiny. It’s a glassy, small wave day for a longboard, not a proper session. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, the size is okay, but the wind will still be a problem.
The real best on offer? Honestly, there’s no standout. If I had to say, Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th have the most energy (414 and 378), but it’s all cross-on choppy slop. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing those days. For us paddle surfers, it’s a waiting game. The forecast can change, but right now, this 16-day run is a write-off. It’s a long gap of poor conditions. Don’t bother waxing up until you see a change in that wind.

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.
