The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what we’ve got on the cards.

First up, the honest truth: for the next week and a half, it’s a bit of a rough patch. We’re looking at a solid run of days where the conditions just aren’t cooperating. The swell is there, but that cross-shore wind is messing up any chance of clean walls. We’re staring down a long gap of poor surf stretching from Monday the 3rd of August all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 13th of August. That’s nearly ten days of frustrating, choppy, cross-shore slop. The wave energy is mostly moderate, sitting around the 100 to 250 mark, but it’s all blown out. You’ll get a bit of a bump from the ENE swell, but the wind is a constant cross, which is a real shame.

Now, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The standout session of the whole outlook is shaping up for the morning of Friday the 14th of August. Playa Pantaleta (beach and reef) is finally going to get a clean-up. We’ve got a 6 ft swell rolling in from the ENE, and the wind is turning cross-offshore from the ESE at 9 mph. This is the big one. The water is a warm 83° – about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy jumps to a strong 393, which is a proper punch. That 8-second period is a short-period wind swell, but with that clean wind and the size, it’s going to be fun. This is an intermediate-friendly wave at that size, so get on it. The crowds can be an issue here, so expect company.

After that, the outlook fades again. The morning of Monday the 17th of August offers a brief, clean moment with lighter 3 mph ESE winds and a small 3 ft ENE swell, but the energy is weak at 90. It’s a consolation prize for the dawn patrol, but nothing compared to that Friday.

So, in short: suffer through the chop for a week and a half, then smash it on the morning of August 14th. That’s our one true standout.

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.
