Alright crew, Rusty here with the outlook for Playa Pantaleta over the next couple weeks. Truth is, it’s a pretty bleak forecast overall. We’ve got persistent cross-shore winds and only a couple of moments that might be worth paddling out.
The first two days – Saturday 4 July through Sunday 5 July – are a total no-go. Poor surf, wind messing things up, and water temp around 79°F, about normal for this time of year. Then on Monday 6 July we see a little flicker: morning has a light cross-off breeze from the ESE at 6 mph, and the afternoon goes glassy with a 3 mph SE breeze. Waves are about 4 ft from ENE with a 7-second period, combined energy moderate (111–120). The comment says “surfable but very ordinary” – you’ll get something to ride but don’t expect any quality. Still, that glassy window Monday afternoon is the cleanest it gets.
The only real standout comes on Thursday 9 July afternoon. Swell jumps to around 7 ft from ENE with a 9-second period, combined energy 615 (moderate). Wind becomes a cross-off ESE at 9 mph, conditions are clean, and the wave comment says marginal but it’s the best we’ll see. That 7 ft is too much for beginners – more for intermediates. The direction is ENE, not the ideal NNE for this spot, but it’s the highlight. After that, from Friday 10 July straight through to Sunday 19 July it’s all poor surf with cross winds and no recommendations – just chop and frustration.
Bottom line: if you want a wave, aim for Thursday afternoon 9 July. The rest of the 16 days is pretty much a bust.
Rusty.

Information about the Playa Pantaleta Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Playa Pantaleta provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Playa Pantaleta can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Playa Pantaleta surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Playa Pantaleta) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Playa Pantaleta may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
