Pantin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Pantin.

The next 16 days are a real mixed bag for Pantin, so we need to be patient. There’s a bit of a slow start to the period, with nothing really worth getting excited about for the first handful of days. We've got a bit of a gap with marginal conditions and tricky winds holding things back. It’s not until the 23rd of September that the stars start to line up for something truly special.

Forget the first week. There’s some size around on the 18th of September – we see a swell building up to 10ft from the NW with a very long 14-second period, pumping some solid energy into the bay (4281 combined energy). But mate, it’s just too much for the setup here; the wind is cross and it’s predicted to be too big for this break. You’d want to be an expert and even then, the conditions aren't right. The rest of that first week is a write-off with cross-shore winds and poor quality, so don’t bother.

Now, the standout window opens on Wednesday the 23rd of September. This is the pick of the entire forecast. Morning sees a clean 6ft WNW groundswell, with a nice long 13-second period driving it. The combined energy is a solid 1222, so there’s proper push in the water. But the real beauty is the wind – light and cross-offshore from the east. It’s going to be glassy, clean, and absolutely firing. This is the one to circle on your calendar. The afternoon holds up, too, with 6ft waves and the same excellent conditions for experienced surfers. This is where you want to be.

After that, the surf settles back down through the end of September and into October. A few smaller pulses come through, like a 5ft WNW swell on the morning of Sunday the 27th, but the winds get gnarly again. There is a late look on Thursday the 1st of October with 4ft NW swell showing a little bit of potential, but it's a long way out, so don't pin your hopes on it just yet.

For the highlight on the 23rd, remember Pantin is a very consistent break and can get crowded. With conditions that clean, expect plenty of company out there. The swell direction is NW, which matches what this spot loves. The water temp anomaly isn't listed here, so we can't comment on that, but with that offshore breeze, who cares?

That’s the story for Pantin. Feast your eyes on the 23rd, and let the rest slide.

Rusty.
