The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat run ahead. We’re looking at a long stretch where the surf just isn’t gonna come together. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for any kind of decent session. The only spot in the frame is La Cicer, and even it can’t get a break.
The pattern starts on Monday the 3rd of August and just keeps on going with poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly a moderate cross-onshore breeze from the north, which is not the clean offshore direction we want for La Cicer. The swell is mixed up, coming from the NNE with a short period of just 7 seconds, so it’s messy, weak, and won’t have any real shape. The combined wave energy sits around the 200 to 300 mark (209 on Monday morning), which is only moderate, but it’s all wasted with the wind.
The swell does push up a bit around Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th, with wave heights reaching 6 ft to 7 ft, and the energy climbing into the 300s and 400s (404 on Thursday afternoon), but the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and blown out. It’s not surfable, it’s just a windy mess. For a spot like La Cicer, which is a beginner-friendly, very consistent break, the wind is the killer here. It’s never truly offshore.
The second week rolls on with the same story. Swell sticks around 4 ft to 6 ft, with a period that occasionally stretches to 8 or 9 seconds, but the wind never lets up. By Monday the 17th, the period hits 10 seconds, which is a better sign, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore at 16 mph, so it’s still junk. The last day, Tuesday the 18th, shows a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 19 mph and only 3 ft of swell. There’s nothing to get excited about.
There is no standout session. No window with clean, offshore winds and a decent swell. This is a total blank. The good news is that a spot like La Cicer is very consistent, so it tends not to stay poor for long. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the car and save the wax.
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.
