The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down.

To be brutally honest, the next two weeks look like a total flat spell for Playa Pantaleta. The whole 16-day window is a bust, with onshore rubbish and no real swell. We’re starting with nothing, and it barely gets a pulse.

From Monday, August 3rd, right through to Thursday, August 13th, the conditions are just poor. The swell is tiny, coming from the ENE at a measly 4 to 5ft, with a short, weak period of 6 to 7 seconds. That’s just wind slop. The wind is constant cross-shore from the east, never letting up, keeping the surface all chopped up and messy. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate, sitting between 103 and 186 (weak to moderate energy). Nothing to get your heart rate up.

Into the second week, it barely improves. Around Friday, August 14th, we see a slight bump, pushing up to 6ft from the ENE, with the period stretching to 8 seconds. The energy picks up a bit (347 on Friday morning, 322 in the afternoon). But the wind is still cross-shore, and the forecast still calls it “poor surf conditions.” It’s not paddleable.

The only glimmer is on Saturday, August 15th. The morning sees the swell at 6ft from the ENE, with an 8-second period and combined energy of 430 (moderate energy). The conditions are described as “marginal” – which is the best we get. The wind is still a gentle cross-shore, so it’s not clean, but for a desperate surfer, it’s the only window. This is marginal for intermediates, and the constant cross-wind means it’ll be bumpy and hard to get a good ride. The break is a beach and reef setup, so kite surfers might have a better time here than paddle surfers.

The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The standout, if you can call it that, is Saturday, August 15th morning. Swell size is 6ft, direction ENE. It’s not great, it’s not clean, and it’s likely to be crowded if anyone else is as desperate as you. The swell direction (ENE) is a bit off the optimum (NNE), so it’s not wrapping in perfectly.

After that, it fades away again, dropping back to tiny 3ft junk by Monday, August 17th.

Bottom line: this is a blank run. There’s no good surf to be had. If you’re a dedicated local, maybe check the Saturday 15th morning for a grovel, but don’t expect much. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.

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.
