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 September, Panton offers decent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.7m and a solid period of 11.1s, indicating well-formed, consistent waves. The majority of swell comes from the NW, WNW, and NNW directions, with the best quality waves (1.5–2.5m) predominantly arriving from these angles—ideal for generating clean, powerful lines. Smaller swells (0.5–1.5m) from the N, NE, and W also contribute but are less consistent. Wind conditions are favorable 42% of the time, most frequently light to moderate (0–20kph) and coming from the W, WSW, and ENE. Stronger winds (20–30kph) occasionally occur from the W and WNW but rarely disrupt the surf. Overall, September provides reliable mid-sized waves with good shape, particularly on NW swells, but watch for variable winds in the afternoons. A solid month for intermediates and advanced surfers.
