Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for La Cicer over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, the outlook is a tough one. We’re staring down a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with the first real suggestion of anything rideable not showing up until Saturday the 25th of July. Before that, it’s a whole lot of cross-onshore wind and messy, weak waves. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year at 72°, so no drama there.
The first flicker of hope comes on Saturday the 25th of July. The morning session sees a solid 10ft swell pushing in from the NNE, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a chunky, moderate-energy groundswell (1350 energy units) – plenty of grunt. But here’s the catch: the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the NNE at 12 mph, which will be chopping things up. The wave comment calls it “marginal” and the score is a 1 out of 10. It’s really only going to be for experienced surfers who know the break well, because anything over 8ft is expert territory. The combined energy is strong, but the messy wind will make it a battle. Don’t expect a classic day.
The afternoon of the 25th drops back to a 0 out of 10, with similar 10ft swell and cross-onshore wind, so it’s not looking like a long window.
Sunday the 26th of July keeps the size going – 8ft from the NNE, 9-second period, strong energy (994-1019 units). Again, cross-onshore wind at 16 mph, meaning choppy, bumpy conditions. The score is a flat zero. For the average punter, this is a skip.
So, the standout? There really isn’t one. The only day that even gets a 1 out of 10 is the 25th morning, and that’s a stretch. If you’re an expert and you’re desperate for a big, messy paddle, you could have a look, but it’s not a recommendation I’d shout from the dunes. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off for clean surf. It’s a long gap of nothing, and then a big, wind-affected swell. This setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the onshore wind and size.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, I’d leave the boards at home.
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.
