The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the forecast for Playa Pantaleta over the next couple of weeks is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of cross-shore winds that are just messing up the surface. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real standout we get is on Saturday, the 15th of August. The swell starts to build, pushing up to around 7 ft from the ENE. The period stretches to 8 seconds, which isn't long, but the combined energy of all swells directed here hits 500 (moderate wave energy). It’s a beach and reef setup, and the swell direction is a solid match for the optimum. The cross-shore wind is still there, but it’s just a gentle breeze, so it’s not as messy. This one’s for the intermediate crew – anything over 5 ft can be a bit much for beginners, and at 7 ft, it’s getting into proper territory. The best bet would be the morning session before the risk of thunderstorms kicks in later.
Honestly, that’s the only real window worth paddling out for. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off. There are long gaps of flat, weak, wind-affected surf. The swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is constantly cross-shore, leaving the surface chopped up. It’s a grim run, but in this region, it’s not unusual to get a blank spell like this. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, save your wax.
Rusty.
