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 March, Panton offers solid surf conditions with an average swell height of 2.6m and a strong period of 12.9s, indicating powerful, well-spaced waves. The dominant swell directions are W, WNW, and NW, contributing to the majority of surfable waves, particularly in the 1.5–2.5m range, with larger sets exceeding 2.5m. Wind conditions are favorable 48% of the time, with onshore winds from the SW to W being the most common but occasionally blowing too strong (20–30kph). Offshore or light winds from the N to NE are less frequent but ideal when present. Surfers can expect consistent, powerful waves, though wind conditions may vary, requiring selective timing for optimal sessions. The spot handles sizable swells well, making it suitable for experienced surfers seeking challenging but rewarding waves.
