The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin’ at the 16-day forecast for Playa Pantaleta. Gotta be honest, it’s a rough go. The entire window is mostly a flat, choppy mess, and the first real nod for a wave doesn’t come until July 26th.
We’re looking at about a week of crummy conditions before that. The wind is almost always cross-shore from the east or east-northeast, kickin’ up a cross-chop that ruins the face. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly in the double and low triple digits, so the ocean just feels small and wonky. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing crazy there.
The one bright spot is July 26th afternoon. The wind goes glassy out of the east at just 3 mph. That’s the window. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the east-northeast, with a short period of 6 seconds and weak energy. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Crowds are possible at Playa Pantaleta, but with waves this small, it’ll be quiet.
Then it’s right back to the struggle. July 27th afternoon shows a clean look with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell only holds at 3 ft. The rest of the run into early August is the same cross-shore junk. The energy numbers stay low. If you’re a paddle surfer, this is a tough stretch. Might be better weather for the kite crew than for us on a surfboard.
Rusty 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. 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.
