The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at Playa Pantaleta. This spot is a beach-and-reef break that’s fairly consistent, but the next 16 days are pretty much a washout. From July 17 all the way to August 1, every session is marked as poor surf. No good waves in sight. The swell is small, running 3ft to 6ft, coming from ENE or NE – not the preferred NNE direction. Periods are short, 6–8 seconds, so it’s weak windswell with no power. Wind is cross-shore the whole time, never clean, always a bit of chop. Water temp is about 81°F, right around average for this time of year.
The combined energy tops out at 294 (moderate) but it’s all junk. No standout days – just a long gap of nothing. For a break that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a tough run. Honestly, it looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one with that constant cross-breeze. Best to wait for the next forecast cycle – things can turn around. Rusty.

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).
