Panton - surf spot statistics

Panton, Spain, is a surf spot with reliable conditions year-round, though the best months for quality waves and favorable winds fall between November and February. During this period, ground swell dominates (87-95%), providing consistent, clean waves with mean heights between 2.8m and 3.1m. December stands out with the highest likelihood of good wind conditions (61%) and solid swell size (3.0m), making it prime time for powerful, well-shaped waves. November and February are also excellent, with strong ground swells (87-95%) and decent wind reliability (53-55%). January and March follow closely, offering sizable waves (2.6-2.8m) though wind conditions are slightly less favorable (46-48% good winds). The shoulder months—October and April—still deliver decent surf, with ground swells around 70% and mean sizes of 2.0-2.2m, but wind quality becomes more variable. From May through September, surf conditions decline significantly. Swell size drops below 1.7m, wind swells take over, and onshore winds prevail (bad wind conditions exceed 58%). July and August are the least reliable, with small, wind-affected waves (1.3-1.4m) and poor wind setups (75-73% bad conditions). Surfers should target Panton from late autumn to early winter for the most powerful and cleanest waves, while summer is better suited for beginners or those tolerant of weaker conditions.

December at this surf spot delivers consistent and surfable conditions, with an average swell height of 3.0m and a solid period of 13.0s, indicating powerful, well-formed waves. The most dominant swell directions are from the WNW, NW, and W, contributing the largest share of rideable waves, particularly in the 1.5–3m+ range. Swells from NNE and NE also provide occasional clean, mid-sized waves. Wind conditions are favorable 61% of the time, with lighter offshore or sideshore winds primarily from the NNE, NE, and E early in the wind spectrum (0–20kph). However, stronger onshore winds from the WSW and W can occasionally disrupt conditions, especially when exceeding 20kph. The spot handles larger winter swells well but remains versatile, offering everything from manageable 1.5m days to powerful overhead sessions. Advanced surfers will appreciate the consistent energy and clean wind windows, while the mix of swell directions keeps the lineup dynamic.
