The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Lookin' at the next 16 days for Playa Pantaleta, and it ain't a pretty picture. We're in for a drought of quality waves, plain and simple.
From the start of September, we have a solid 10-day stretch of straight-up poor surf. The swell is weak, mostly windswell from the ENE, running 3 to 5 ft with a short, punchy period of 6 to 7 seconds. The wind is stuck cross-shore from the East, just chopping every wave to bits. The wave energy is low to modest, and every session is marked as poor. It's a real test of patience.
A little glimmer appears around the 11th of September. The swell starts to build a bit, hitting around 5 ft with a slightly longer 8-second period from the ENE. The wind stays cross-shore but lightens up a touch. The wave comment finally flips to "marginal," which means it's *almost* surfable. The energy kicks up to a moderate 270, but the wind is still just enough to mess with the shape.
Into the third week, we see another pulse on the 14th, with 5 ft swell and a 7-second period. But again, it's the same story: wind from the East, cross-shore, and the surf quality is poor. The ocean has a little bit of size, but the surface is a mess.
Honestly, there are no standout sessions. This is a long, bleak run for the surf. This break is fairly consistent for *having* waves, but the quality just isn't there for a clean paddle session. With that steady cross-shore wind and chop, the setup looks a lot more fun for a kite than a surfboard for the foreseeable future. I'd sit this one out.

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.

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.
