The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Looks like we’re in a bit of a dry spell for the next couple of weeks around here. The only spot on the radar is La Cicer, but the conditions are just not playing ball. Don’t get your hopes up for anything decent; we’ve got a long stretch of poor surf quality ahead.
The forecast kicks off on Thursday, August 6th, and honestly, it’s a rough start. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the NE, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so the waves are messy and lack punch. The wind is cross-on from the NNE at 9 mph, making things choppy. The combined wave energy is moderate (367), but with the poor quality, it’s not worth paddling out.
This pattern just doesn’t let up. From Friday, August 7th, all the way through to the afternoon of Wednesday, August 19th, it’s the same story: swell heights bouncing between 4ft and 6ft, short periods (6 to 8 seconds), and persistent cross-on or onshore winds from the N or NNE, blowing 9 to 16 mph. The combined energy hovers in the moderate range (225 to 406), but every single session is tagged as “poor surf conditions” with a score of 0. There’s no stand-out window here. It’s all just choppy, crumbly, and uninviting. For any beginners eyeing this, the swell occasionally hits over 5ft, which is a bit much for learning, especially with the onshore chop.
There’s a slight glimmer on the morning of Thursday, August 20th. Swell from the N at 5ft with a period stretching to 9 seconds, and the wind is onshore from the N at 12 mph. The energy jumps to 396, so there’s a little more juice, but the wind still kills it. Then it fades again into Friday, August 21st, with 4ft swell and the same wind issues.
For the whole 16-day run, there is not a single session I’d recommend. The consistent onshore and cross-onshore winds keep the surface ugly, and the short-period swell never lets the waves form properly. If you’re a kitesurfer, this wind and chop might be your playground, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard pass. Keep the board in the bag and wait for a change in the pattern. Forecasts can shift, but right now, this is a blank run for the area.
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.
