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.

In June, Pantón offers average surf conditions with a mean swell height of 1.4m and a solid period of 9.6s, suggesting well-organized waves with decent energy. The majority of swells come from the NW, WNW, and W directions, delivering the most rideable waves, particularly in the 1-2.5m range. These directions account for the best size and consistency, with NW swells dominating at heights over 1m. Wind conditions are favorable for surfing 38% of the time, with lighter winds (0-20kph) predominantly from the W and WSW, which can groom the waves nicely. However, stronger winds from the west occasionally create chop, especially in the 20-30kph range. Overall, June provides a mix of manageable surf with occasional high-quality sessions when wind and swell align, best suited for intermediate to advanced surfers who can handle variable conditions. Keep an eye on wind forecasts to maximize the best windows.
