The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, now in feet and Fahrenheit.
Looking at Playa Pantaleta, we’ve got a rough run ahead. Swell is coming from the ENE, which is cross-shore to the best direction, and the wind is stuck out of the East almost every day, so it’s going to stay choppy. Water temp is about 81°, which is dead average for the season.
The wave energy is okay, in the moderate range, but the period is short at 7 seconds, so the waves are weak and crumbly. The best chance you’ll see is on the morning of Saturday, August 1st. The wind goes glassy, and there’s a 4ft swell from the ENE. That’s the only clean window in the whole forecast. It’s not big, but it’ll be the smoothest wave of the stretch.
After that, it’s a steady grind of cross-shore wind (9-12 mph) and cross-chop, with the swell hanging around 4ft to 5ft. The energy gets a little stronger on the 11th and 13th, but the wind never lets up. This is a beach and reef setup, so with that much chop, it’s really more of a kiteboarding spot right now.
There’s no real standout session in the whole 16 days. The glassy morning on August 1st is your only shot at something clean, but it’s small. The rest is just a waiting game.
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.
