Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the forecast for Playa Pantaleta.
First up, this is a beach and reef set-up that's fairly consistent, but the next couple of weeks are looking like a bit of a struggle. There's a lot of cross-shore wind and short period swell in the mix, so we're not talking about clean, classic surf.
We're starting on Saturday, July 4th, and honestly, the first week is a write-off. The wind is constantly cross-shore, bumping up the surface, and while there's some swell pushing in, it's short period (7 seconds) and the conditions are just not there. You're looking at cross-chop and messy line-ups until at least the 14th. The combined wave energy is generally weak to moderate (81 to 469) but doesn't translate to good shape. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
There is a bit of a light at the end of the tunnel though. On Monday, July 6th, the morning session sees a slight improvement with a "cross-off" wind, offering a clean surface. You've got ENE swell at 1.3m (4.3ft), period of 7 seconds, and a combined energy of 134. It’s surfable but very ordinary. That brief window is the best of a bad bunch for early on.
But the real standout, if you can wait, is very late in the forecast. Sunday, July 19th. The morning shows some cloudy skies and a light ESE breeze (3 mph) swinging cross-offshore. The swell picks up again to 1.4m (4.6ft) from the NE, period still 7 seconds, but the combined energy is a moderate 217. The key here is "expect good surf conditions" and a score of 2. It'll be clean with that light wind. Because it's so far out, we have to call it promising but less certain. Crowds are listed as "sometimes", so you could have it to yourself if you're lucky. This is the only session that sounds genuinely worth paddling out for. Keep an eye on it.
