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.

February at this surf spot offers powerful and consistent conditions, with an average swell height of **3.1m** and a long **14.0s period**, which indicates well-organized, high-quality waves. The majority of swells come from the **NW to W** direction, with the most significant wave contributions in the **1.5m–2.5m+ range** (WNW and NW dominate, often producing surfable waves over 2m—**15–20%** of the time). Smaller, weaker waves are rare; most swells pack energy and size, making this a solid choice for advanced surfers. Wind conditions are favorable **53% of the time**, with the best scenario being light to moderate offshore (E-ESE) or cross-shore (variable WSW-W) winds below **20kph**. The worst case is stronger onshore WSW-W winds (20–30kph+), which occur roughly **10–15%** of the time and can degrade quality. **Summary:** February delivers powerful, well-spaced swells—ideal for experienced surfers. Wind reliability is moderate, but when it aligns, expect high-performance waves with solid size and shape. Watch for wind shifts, but the dominant NW-W swell direction ensures consistent energy.
