Pantin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board. I'm lookin' at the charts for Pantin over the next couple of weeks, and it's a bit of a mixed bag, but there are definitely some windows to get wet. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is about normal for this time of year, so a good 3/2 will do ya.

The first few days are pretty junky. Friday afternoon the 4th, we got some small 3ft WNW windswell, but the wind is all over it, making for poor, chop-ridden conditions. The energy is weak too, only about 157. We’ll wait that one out. Saturday the 5th is a tease. The swell jumps up to 6ft with a nice, long 14-second period from the NW, and the morning wind looks clean. The energy is strong at 1226. It might be a bit tricky with tide, but that’s the first real chance for a wave. Sunday’s back to small and messy, so don't get too hyped.

Now, here’s the standout of the whole run. We're lookin' at Wednesday the 9th. It's got that same strong energy, over 1200, with 6ft of NW groundswell. The morning wind is a clean cross-offshore, which is exactly what Pantin wants. This is your best bet for a proper session. The only thing is it might be a touch big and powerful for beginners at that size, but for the rest of us, that's the one to circle.

There’s another pulse to watch for around Monday the 7th. It’s got good size and energy, but the wind is a bit cross-onshore, so it might be a little lumpier than we'd like.

After that, it fades out for a while. The week from the 11th through the 17th is mostly small and sloppy, with the wind blowing strong and making a mess of things. You'll see waves under 3ft and weak energy, so it's a good time to get other stuff done. The 15th is dead flat, 1ft, so that's a write-off.

Now, hold on, we got one more interesting window way out there. Saturday the 19th is showing some serious size – 7ft of NW swell with a long 12-second period, and the energy is cranking at 1409, the biggest of the whole forecast. The wind is cross-offshore, which is good, but this is a big, powerful wave. That's expert territory right there. It's over the 8ft mark for the day, so it could be a beast. This is a long-range call, so it's promising but definitely less certain. Keep your fingers crossed on that one.

So, to sum it up: Saturday the 5th is a warm-up, Wednesday the 9th is your prime target, and Saturday the 19th is the wildcard for the big dogs. The stretches in between are gonna be flat or blown out, so wait for your window. This is Rusty, signing off.
