Pantin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down Pantin in feet and miles per hour.

We’re in for a bit of a slow start. Wednesday the 9th is a total mess – don’t bother. Your first real chance is Thursday the 10th morning. It’s clean, with waves about 5ft from the NNW, a 10-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE. The combined energy of all swells is moderate (444). Not epic, but it’s a wave.

The standout stretch is Saturday the 13th through Sunday the 14th. On Sunday morning, we’ve got a solid 5.6ft of clean NW swell, a 12-second period, and a crisp cross-offshore breeze. The energy is strong (855). Saturday afternoon has a 5.2ft swell with a 15-second period and a big energy reading of 347. That’s a long-period groundswell, so it’ll have good power and shape, but it might be a little too lined up for the beach break. The wind is clean, and the water temp is about normal for this time of year.

After that, it goes quiet. From Monday the 14th afternoon through Saturday the 19th, the conditions are poor – lumpy, windy, or just flat. There’s a long gap.

On Sunday the 20th, there’s a small window of clean 3.6ft NW swell with a light offshore breeze. It’s a nice little session if you’re desperate, but it’s small.

Then, a full week away, on Tuesday the 22nd, we see a 7.5ft NE swell, but it’s only 7 seconds – short period, so it’ll be a bit of a close-out. The wind is cross-shore, making it choppy. This is getting into the big range for beginners.

Finally, on Wednesday the 23rd, the swell is 3.6ft from the NW, but the period is a massive 16 seconds, with a very strong 1070 energy reading. That’s a proper groundswell. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the afternoon gets lumpy. Long-range, so keep an eye on it. With that long period, it’ll be best at a point or reef.

Best bet: Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th. That’s your time to shine.
