Not recommended, La Cicer or Cicer, located on the end of Las Canteras rairly puts out an enjoyable wave. On larger days six foot plus swells break on the outer reef mellow down and rebreak on shore. Not a long ride at all, Normally breaking all at once. Also over populated with bodyboarders, much more able to ride steep closeout that Cicer is known for.

F*king chicken f*kers - I stayed directly in Las Palmas in a cheap hotel close to the beach, two weeks in december and only three days no surf. I always thought it was funny, that people walked in wetsuits to the beach: well these F*king chicken f*kers stole my backpack with a towel, shorts and T-Shirt from the beach. They left my cool shoes flip-flops, which cost more than the stuff they stole. Brainless punks!In my opinion, the locals are snaking goat fuckers, as there are better (for me as a not used to reefs person too dangerous) spots close to La cicer. I bet it was the garbage man and the guy cleaning my hotel room who got angry when I got a wave and they dropped in on me...

- Its a city beach. Its crowded but its a privilege to have this in the city. Very clean water, good weather all the year, i love it. For traveller surfers better go to other places, for me, its the best, i enjoy surfing and life. m/

Robin is right - Usually close outs, better for bodyboarder.
