The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for La Cicer over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a bit of a grim stretch for the first week and a half. We’ve got a solid run of days where the wind is just mucking things up, coming mostly from the north and keeping the surf messy. The real standout isn’t about perfect waves, but about the only time things start to look salvageable, and that’s around the 14th of September.
Alright, so from Sunday the 30th of August right through to the 13th of September, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is there, no doubt about it. We see wave heights creeping up from around 3 ft to over 7 ft at times, with combined swell energy ranging from moderate (202) right up to strong (1087). The issue is the wind. It’s stuck in a cross-on pattern from the north-northeast, and it’s churning the surface up into a choppy, messy state. Even though the direction from the north-northwest is what this spot likes, the wind just won’t play ball. There’s a day or two early in September, like the 4th and 5th, where the wind goes ‘on’ shore, but it’s still from the north and the conditions are rated as ‘unknown’ or just poor. It’s not gonna be clean.
Now, the glimmer of hope. On Monday the 14th of September in the morning, we finally get a bit of a reprieve. The swell drops a little to 5 ft from the north-northeast, but the real difference is the wind. It settles to a light cross-on breeze from the north-northeast at 6 mph. That’s enough to put just small ripples on the face. The combined energy is still decent at 376, which is moderate. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the first time in a long time that the conditions are truly marginal and worth a paddle. The low score of 1 out of 10 for most of the period tells the story, but that last session is the only one that gets a nod.
So if you’re desperate for a surf, the window is that Monday morning. Don’t expect perfection, but compared to the preceding fortnight of cross-onshore chop, it’ll feel like a blessing. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.
Signing off, 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.
