The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but the first week and a half is pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The only spot on the radar is La Cicer, and for the first ten days, it’s all poor surf conditions. The wind is a problem – mostly a moderate cross-onshore breeze from the N or NNE, which is just chopping things up. From Monday the 31st through to Monday the 7th, the swell is there, but it’s messy and the wave comment is all “poor surf conditions.” The combined energy is moderate (216 to 447), but with the wind state being cross-on and choppy, there’s no quality to grab onto.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday the 9th of September. Wednesday morning, we get a bit of a reprieve. The swell is 6.2ft from the NNE with a period of 7 seconds. The wind drops to a light breeze from the N, making it a light cross-onshore with just small wind ripples. The wave comment upgrades to “marginal surf forecast” – a score of 1 out of 10. It’s not great, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The combined energy is moderate (395). This is a beach setup, so the short period (7s) means the waves won’t have much shape, but it’s the only window where the wind isn’t ruining it completely. The break is very consistent, but expect crowds. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but with the swell at 6.2ft, it’s getting a bit stout for total newbies.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions. The second week fades out with smaller swell and dropping energy. Monday the 14th sees a little 3.6ft NNE swell with a slight wind, but it’s still a zero score. Honestly, the only standout, and I mean the *only* one, is that Wednesday morning session on the 9th. It’s not a classic, but if you’re desperate, that’s your window.

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.
