Pantin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Pantin has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

The first few days are pretty grim, to be honest. Friday the 11th through to Saturday the 12th, you’re looking at weak, short-period swell from the WNW around 2ft to 3ft, but the wind is a problem—freshening up from the NE and making things lumpy. The combined energy is minimal (141 to 167), so it’s a hard pass. A real flat and messy start.

Things start to perk up on Sunday the 13th. We get a jump in swell to 5ft from the NW, with a period of 12 seconds and a moderate energy reading of 748. The wind is a cross-off from the ENE, keeping it clean, but it’s labelled as marginal due to tide. Still, it’s the first real hope. The following morning, Monday the 14th, is a gem. The swell drops a touch to 3ft from the NW, period 11 seconds, but the wind goes glassy from the ESE. That’s your winner early in the run—clean, glassy conditions with a moderate energy (260). It won’t be huge, but it’ll be fun and clean for an intermediate.

The surf then goes wonky again from Tuesday the 15th through most of the following week. Swell sticks around, but the wind is mostly cross or onshore, with speeds ramping up to 18-22 mph, creating chop and poor conditions. There’s a window on the morning of Saturday the 19th: a smaller 3ft swell from the NNW, period 13 seconds, with a cross-off breeze from the ENE and a solid energy reading of 520. The forecast says “very good,” and I’d be keen on that.

The real standout, however, is on the morning of Thursday the 24th. We’re looking at a 6ft NW swell, period 11 seconds, and the wind is dead calm—glass. The combined energy is a strong 1130, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle on your calendar. It’s a little over a week away, but the signs are strong. At 6ft, it’s not for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of time in the water, this will be pumping and clean. The following morning, Friday the 25th, is also excellent: 6ft NW swell, light cross-off from the SW, and energy at 1163. Another cracker.

The final Saturday morning the 26th sees the swell drop to 4ft but with glassy conditions again, making for a clean, smaller session.

So, overall, suffer through the first few days. Monday the 14th is a nice clean small wave day, but the absolute standouts are Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th—bigger, clean, and powerful. Get in the water if you can.

Rusty.
