The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it for La Cicer.
I’ll be honest with you, mate – this sixteen-day stretch is a bit of a dog. We’ve got waves on the cards from Friday the 14th of August right through to Saturday the 29th, but the wind is just ruining everything. It’s a persistent NNE or N breeze, cross-onshore or onshore, chopping the surface to bits. The water temp is sitting at 75°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but you won’t care about that when you’re fighting the chop.
The best of a bad bunch is around the 23rd and 24th of August. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits 368 (moderate) on Sunday morning the 23rd, and then jumps to 644 (strong) on Monday the 24th morning. Wave heights are around 6ft to 7ft from the NNE, with a period of 7 to 8 seconds. But the wind is still cross-onshore at 12-16 mph, so it’s going to be messy and lumpy. At 7ft, it’s getting a bit overhead for beginners, and the conditions are poor anyway.
Honestly, the whole run is a write-off for clean, fun surf. The swell is just short-period windswell, and the wind direction is locked in. If you’re a paddle surfer, there’s nothing to get excited about. With that constant cross-onshore breeze and consistent swell, this setup might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only other thing to mention is late in the window, around the 26th to 28th of August. The swell stays around 7ft from the NNE, with the wind onshore from the N at 12-16 mph. The energy is still strong (543-595), but it’s still unknown or choppy. No clean windows.
So, what can I say? Maybe pick up a new hobby for a couple of weeks, or keep an eye on the forecasts – things can flip, but right now it’s a grim outlook.

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.
