Pantin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the menu for Pantin over the next couple of weeks.

It’s a bit of a slow start, with a few days of small, weak swell that won't get you too excited. The first real chance of something decent shows up on Saturday, 5th September, when a NW swell builds to 6 ft with a period of 14 seconds. That’s got some decent energy behind it (1226) and the wind is cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean. This is a promising window, but the swell is pushing into that intermediate zone, so it could be a bit much for beginners. The real standout, though, is Monday morning, 7th September. The swell is 7 ft from the WNW with an 11-second period, and the wind is dead glassy. That’s a recipe for some of the best waves we’ll see all period. The energy is high (941) and the conditions will be absolutely pristine. After that, the week looks a bit mixed, with some smaller, cleaner windows on Wednesday, 9th September, where you’ll find 5 ft waves and glassy conditions again in the afternoon. That’s a solid, clean option.

Looking further out, the second week brings another pulse on Monday, 14th September, with a big 8 ft NW swell and a long 14-second period. The energy is pumping (2534), but that size is only for the experienced crew. The winds are cross-shore, so it won’t be as clean as the earlier standout. Breaks like Pantin (Galicia) are a point break setup, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely, but the crowds can be there often, so be prepared to share. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing too crazy.

So, to sum it up: the best bet is Monday morning, 7th September, for that glassy, 7 ft WNW swell. The week after the 14th has big power but is for experts only. The rest of the time, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
