The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty with the imperial version for you.
Straight up, the next couple of weeks at La Cicer are looking pretty grim. The whole forecast is tagged with "poor surf conditions" and scores are rock bottom. We’ve got a long run of barely anything worth paddling for. The water temp is a nice 73°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that's the only good news.
Things kick off Wednesday, July 15th, with tiny waves around 2ft to 1ft from the north. Weak energy (52) and short period, with a cross-onshore breeze. It’s essentially flat and choppy. That same story plays out through the whole first week. The swell slowly pushes up, but the wind stays stubbornly cross-onshore or onshore, and the periods are all short. By Saturday July 18th and Sunday July 19th, we see some 5ft to 6ft swell, but with onshore winds and energy still in the low 200s, it’s just messy.
Moving into the second week, from Monday July 20th through Sunday July 26th, there’s a little more size. You’ll see 6ft to 7ft swell from the NNE, and the energy finally climbs into the 300s and 400s, hitting 550 on Thursday July 23rd morning. That's moderate wave energy. The period is still only 7-8 seconds though – short-period wind swell. And the wind is a steady onshore breeze, so it’s not going to be clean. By Friday July 24th and Saturday 25th, the swell drops back to 5ft.
The best of a bad bunch – if you can even call it that – is Thursday July 30th. We see the biggest swell of the period at 7ft from the NNE, with energy climbing to 523. That's moderate-to-strong. The period is a slightly better 8 seconds. The wind is onshore for the afternoon, but the morning shows a cross-onshore breeze. At 7ft, this is getting into expert territory for La Cicer, especially with that short period on a fairly exposed break. With that much swell and persistent onshore wind on a beach setup, it might honestly look better for the kite surfers than for us paddle surfers.
There are no true standouts in this whole forecast. It’s a solid 16-day stretch of poor surf. La Cicer is usually very consistent, so this is a real down period. Don't get your hopes up.
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.
