 La Cicer Water Temperature and Wetsuit Guide


Sunny with pleasantly warm air temperatures (feeling like 24 °C once we account for wind), and similar sea temperatures (23 °C). Wear boardshorts or a shorty, or better still a thin summer wetsuit to keep the UV off.


Below is a graph of Historical Sea Surface Temperature for La Cicer. This has been derived from analysis of two decades of oceanographic satellite measurements of nearby open water. We have calculated the average water temperature variation around the year as well as the extremes that have been observed on each date. 

La Cicer sea temperatures peak in the range 22 to 24°C (72 to 75°F) on around the 12th of September and are at their coldest on about the 19th of February, in the range 18 to 20°C (64 to 68°F). La Cicer sea temperatures are always warm reach their warmest in the second week of September. You'll need a 2mm neoprene top or a shorty at dawn/dusk or if it's windy. The coldest La Cicer sea temperatures in the third week of February require something like a 3/2mm fully sealed wetsuit.

Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at La Cicer can vary by several degrees compared with these open water averages. This is especially true after heavy rain, close to river mouths or after long periods of strong offshore winds. Offshore winds cause colder deep water to replace surface water that has been warmed by the sun. Air temperature, wind-chill and sunshine should also be considered before deciding on the kind of wetsuit needed to stay warm when surfing at La Cicer. Refer to our detailed weather forecasts for this information.
