The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the coming weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough run ahead. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty bleak for anything decent. We're stuck with a persistent northerly wind regime that's just messing up the surface at La Cicer. The water temp is sitting around 74°, which is about average for this time of year, and the swell energy is getting up there (267 on the 5th), but it's all for nothing when the wind is on it.
The pattern is the same day after day: swell coming from the NNE, short period around 7-8 seconds, and constant onshore or cross-onshore winds. The waves are there, but they’re choppy, wind-affected, and just plain ugly. It’s not a total flat spell, but it’s about as close to a write-off as you can get for a surfer.
The first few days of August are all a no-go. Wednesday the 5th kicks off with a 6ft NNE swell, but with a cross-on breeze and a short 7-second period, it’s just messy. That trend holds through the whole first week – the swell size bounces between 5ft and 7ft, but the quality never improves. The combined energy hits a high of 487 on the 8th, but it’s all wind chop.
We roll into the second week, and there’s no relief. The wind stays northerly, the swell stays short-period, and the conditions remain poor. There’s even a spike in energy on the 15th of August, hitting 703, with a 8ft NNE swell. But with a 16 mph cross-on breeze, that’s not a surf session; that’s a washing machine. For anyone but the most experienced, 8ft with that much wind is a battle. By the 20th, the energy drops right off to just 65, and the swell shrinks to 3ft with a 4-second period – that’s barely a ripple.
Honestly, the only thing that might be worth a look is if you’re a kitesurfer. The setup is strong wind, decent swell size, and a beach break – that’s a kite’s playground. For paddle surfing, there’s just nothing on offer. The whole 16-day forecast is a blank. Sometimes that’s just how it goes in this area.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
