Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa Pantaleta over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is a tough one to call. Look, I'm looking at Playa Pantaleta, and honestly, the whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for a decent paddle. The wind is locked in from the east and east-northeast, blowing cross-shore at 9 to 12 mph every single day. That means it’s going to be choppy and messy, with a constant cross-chop on the surface. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
The swell is there, but it's not doing us any favours. We start off Friday the 10th with a 6ft swell from the ENE, but it’s short-period at 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 362. It’s just not well-shaped. The wind kills it, and the conditions are consistently poor. Through the weekend and into the next week, the swell holds around 4ft to 5ft, but the period drops to just 7 seconds – that’s windswell, not the good stuff. The energy is mostly in the moderate range, between 111 and 310, but it’s all crossed up.
There’s a slight bump around Wednesday the 15th with a 6ft swell, but again, 7-second period and cross-shore wind. It’s the same story right through to the 25th of July. The swell direction is ENE, and the optimum for this break is NNE, so it’s not even hitting the spot right. The best wave state we see is ‘gentle cross-shore with slight cross-chop’, which is still far from clean.
Honestly, for a surfer, this setup is a dud. The beach and reef setup at Playa Pantaleta with this much cross-shore wind and short-period swell is going to be frustrating. It’s more of a kite-surfing kind of scene than a quality paddle session. There are no standouts in the whole 16-day run. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions, and that’s just how it looks for this area.
