The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the local situation.
I'll be honest with you, mates. The next sixteen days are lean, real lean. We've got a long stretch of nothing before anything even looks slightly rideable.
The only break in the charts is La Cicer. For the first nine days, starting Saturday July 18th all the way through Sunday the 26th, it's a complete bust. The wind is a constant problem, mostly side-onshore or straight onshore, and the waves are just poor—choppy and messy. There's swell around, but it's weak and short period, mostly 7 seconds. Not worth the paddle out.
Even when the energy picks up into the strong range on the 26th of July (Sunday), hitting a (903) in the morning and a huge (1779) in the afternoon, the conditions are still listed as poor. The water temp is 73°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The first real, and I mean only, opportunity comes on Monday, July 27th. The morning session is flagged as "marginal." The swell jumps to 10ft from the NNE, with a period of 9 seconds. That's a lot of water moving, with very strong energy (1336). The wind finally turns favorable—offshore from the NW at just 9 mph. This is the one to watch, but only for the experts. 10ft is proper big-wave territory. It's not perfect, but compared to everything else, it's the best on offer. The rest of that week stays big and messy, with the wind turning against it again.
By the end of the month and into August, the swell backs off, but that nasty side-onshore wind from the north-northeast returns, making things lumpy and choppy again. So, to sum it up: unless you're an expert on a big-wave rig, the only session to even consider is Monday morning, the 27th of July. Otherwise, it's a long wait.
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.
