La Cicer Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a coffee, because this next stretch is a test of patience. The short-term forecast is a mess. We're looking at a solid run of poor conditions from Tuesday the 8th through to the 13th. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore out of the north and northeast, and it's just going to chop up the small, weak swell we've got. Swell heights hover around 4-5ft with a short, crumbly 7-second period. The combined energy is moderate at best, but it's all surface noise. The biggest pulse on the 12th hits around 7ft, but with that wind, it's just a close-out. This kind of setup looks way more fun for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

But there is light at the end of the tunnel. On Monday the 14th, the wind finally eases off and swings to the northwest, going glassy. The swell drops away to a tiny 2ft, but that 13-second period from the NNW is a proper groundswell. It’s clean, and it’s got push. This is the standout window of the whole outlook. The spot is La Cicer, which is a very consistent, beginner-friendly break. The long period might make it a bit lined-up, but at this size, it should be a fun, clean wave. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but for a clean wave, it'll be worth sharing. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

That clean window closes fast. Tuesday the 15th has a bit of morning glass, but then the wind switches back onshore, and the swell loses all its shape. From there it’s a slow, grinding slide back into small, weak, and poor conditions. The end of the second week is a real dribble. A bit of swell on the 18th and 19th, but the period is a dismal 6 seconds and the wind is all over the place. The energy levels drop right off, and there's just nothing on offer. We're in a proper seasonal lull here, and the long-range charts are showing no sign of immediate relief. It won't last forever, but for now, you might want to find another hobby.
