The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. I’ve been staring at the charts, and there’s just nothing good on offer. The entire forecast window is a write-off, with every single session flagged as "poor surf conditions." That’s a long stretch of nothing, from the 8th of August all the way through the 23rd.
We’re looking at La Cicer as the only spot on the cards, and it’s a beginner-friendly break that’s very consistent. But even consistency can’t save this run. The wind is howling from the north-northwest and north, mostly offshore, but the swell is the problem. It’s a weak, short-period windswell from the north-northeast, with a period of just 6 to 8 seconds. That’s short, choppy, and lacks any real punch. The swell height is around 2 to 2 feet, with combined wave energy that’s moderate, but it’s all just messy, wind-affected junk. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
For a beach setup like this, with a strong north wind and poor quality, this honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The wind is consistent and offshore, which is great for a kite, but it’s ruining the waves for us. There’s no standout, no best option, because nothing is good. Sometimes a blank run like this is just normal for the area, and we have to wait for a change in the pattern. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
