We compare the 7-day forecast to the last 5 years of marine data for the same week at Pantín. The delta tells you whether conditions are shaping up better, worse, or about the same as a typical early July.
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.
Open-Meteo's Marine API (swell height, period, water temperature) and Weather API (wind and conditions).
Honestly, no. Every break has tide windows, swell directions and reef contours that a global model cannot see. Treat the score as a starting point, then check a local cam.
The best week for surf at Pantín is the week of 16 November (score 3/5) with low crowds.
Small waves but still worth a paddle for keen surfers. Moderate wind adding texture to the faces. Best conditions early morning before the sea breeze arrives.
Heads up: rip risk elevated, and jellyfish: high.

The air here is 82% cleaner than the average comparison city right now.
Significantly cleaner air than a typical city. Ideal for outdoor exercise with minimal respiratory strain.
Not a pollutant. Ozone is naturally higher at altitude and near the coast, and lower in cities where traffic exhaust breaks it down. High readings here typically indicate clean air. Can cause short-term airway irritation during intense exercise but is not linked to the long-term health risks of particulate pollution.
Additive health score: each pollutant contributes points relative to its WHO 2021 guideline and long-term health impact (PM2.5 9, NO₂ 5, O₃ 3, PM10 2, SO₂ 1 at WHO limits). Data via Open-Meteo. City markers show live readings. Red line marks the WHO guideline. Updated 03:00

Pantin is a quality beach break on the Galician coast of northwest Spain. It faces north and sits in a natural amphitheatre of cliffs, producing consistent, well-shaped waves. The beach has hosted WSL competitions and is considered one of Spain's best beach breaks. The sand creates defined peaks with genuine power, especially on solid Atlantic swells. The Galician coastline is wild and relatively uncrowded.
Picks up north and north-westerly Atlantic swell. A southerly wind is offshore. Works on all tides with mid-tide often best for shape. Consistent from September through May. The 3-6ft range produces the best waves. Galicia receives enormous amounts of swell and Pantin handles it well.
The beach has a defined main peak that forms in the centre. The steep banks produce fast, hollow take-offs. Additional peaks form along the beach. The cliff vantage point above gives an excellent view of where the waves are breaking best.
Powerful waves on bigger days. Rip currents between the peaks. The beach is exposed to raw Atlantic energy. Cold water by Spanish standards (wetsuits required year-round). Some rocks at the cliff edges.
Car park above the beach with a path down to the sand. Basic facilities at the top. The beach is relatively remote with the nearest town (Valdovino) a short drive away.
Less crowded than the Basque or French coasts. Galicia's remoteness (far northwest corner of Spain) keeps numbers manageable. Good days might see 15-20 people. The local Galician surf community is growing but remains friendly. A refreshing change from the packed lineups further east.
Galicia is Spain's best-kept surf secret. The coast receives as much swell as France but with a fraction of the crowd. Pantin is the headline spot but dozens of quality breaks exist within driving distance. The seafood in Galicia is exceptional and cheap. Pulpo a feira (octopus) is mandatory post-surf fuel. Water is colder than you expect for Spain; bring a 4/3.

View Best Time to Go →Combining historical conditions with school holiday crowd pressure to find the sweet spot.
The timing score combines two signals: historical conditions quality (how good the skiing or surfing typically is in a given week, based on 5 years of weather data) and crowd pressure (how many of this destination's feeder markets have school holidays that week).
Crowd pressure is weighted by each feeder country's share of visitors. If 40% of a resort's visitors come from France and France is on holiday, that contributes 0.40 to the crowd pressure score. Crowds can reduce the timing score by up to 35%, ensuring conditions still matter most.
Scores: 5 = great conditions with low crowds (the sweet spot). 4 = great conditions with moderate crowds, or good conditions with low crowds. 3 = average. 2 = below average conditions or very crowded. 1 = poor conditions or peak holiday chaos.
