Pantin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, let’s talk Pantin over the next couple weeks. First few days are a bit of a dud. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are messy – small, weak surf and onshore breezes spoiling anything decent. Not worth wetting the suit.

Come Thursday the 27th, there’s a pulse of 5ft swell from the west, but it’s got a cross-off wind and the surf is only marginal – just not clean enough to get keen. That same average, choppy vibe carries through the end of August and into September. The swell sits between 3ft and 7ft, but the wind is mostly cross-on or cross-shore, and the wave energy is moderate, readings around 185 to 1187. Nothing’s clicking.

The real standout is Sunday the 6th of September. That morning, it’s glassy – dead calm – with a solid 6ft swell rolling in from the west-northwest. The period jumps to 11 seconds, and the energy hits 827, which is proper. Light southerly wind – it’s gonna be clean, lined-up, and a real treat. That’s the session to aim for.

After that, things get heavy. Monday morning the 7th brings a 22-second period with massive energy at 2323, but it’s crossed up with strong onshore wind and the surf is poor. That afternoon, the swell blows up way too big – 12ft from the west-northwest with a 19-second period and energy at 9074 – it’s for experts only if they’re keen. Tuesday the 8th is also massive at 10ft and glassy in the morning, but again, it’s too big for most. By Wednesday the 9th, it drops to a manageable 5ft from the north-northwest with a long 12-second period, but the energy is still high at 976 and the cross-shore wind might keep it average.

Water temp is about average for the time of year – nothing weird.

Best bet: get out early on the 6th of September, Sunday morning. That’s your clean, solid session with the best conditions across the whole 16 days. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or way too big.

Rusty.
