The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be honest with you – the surf outlook for La Cicer is a real mess for the entire 16-day window. The water temperature is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than the seasonal norm for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s even close to good news. The combined swell energy is moderate, ranging from around 143 to 686 (moderate to strong), but it’s all wasted because the wind is a constant problem. We’re looking at a persistent northerly breeze, 9 to 16 mph, blowing cross-on or onshore almost every single session. That means the surface is going to be chopped up, bumpy, and hard to enjoy. The swell direction is mostly from the north or north-northeast, which is far from the optimum north-northwest direction that La Cicer really likes. The wave heights hover between 3 ft and 7 ft, but with such short period swell – mostly 7 to 8 seconds – the waves will be weak, sectiony, and lacking any real punch. Even when the swell gets up to 7 ft on the 28th of August, the wind is still cross-on and the period is short, so it’s going to be a crumbly mess. For beginners, anything over 5 ft is already a challenge, and the 7 ft+ days are only for those who don’t mind a chaotic, onshore blast. The bottom line is every single entry in the forecast says “poor surf conditions,” and I’m not seeing any standout window worth your time. There’s a full 16 days of frustrating, wind-affected surf with no real break in the pattern. Forget about a best day – there isn’t one. If you’re desperate, maybe the 1st of September morning has the smallest swell and a slight shift to the optimum direction, but with the wind still cross-on, it’s a long shot. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers, given the consistent onshore wind and moderate energy. Keep the board waxed and wait for a better forecast, because this run is a write-off.

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.
